Most of the spirituality and meditation that people do today is not for the sake of awakening. Most of it is done to train our minds, concentration, wisdom, and morality: [[Most spiritual paths are indirect]]. And to help us better notice our thoughts and emotions and not get lost in them. And to help us momentarily attain pleasurable states of mind: [[States of mind change]]. All of which is fine and can be useful. But it won't give us what we really seek, because [[You are what you seek]]. We just may not have yet [awakened](Awakening) to this truth.
