Summary

This quote reflects a poignant snapshot of an individual's life at a pinnacle moment. It suggests that amidst the chaotic nature of existence, there is a single instance of vulnerability and truth. When the person kneels on the sidewalk, everything else they have been doing - perhaps pretending or acting - becomes apparent as falsehoods. It captures the idea that in moments of raw honesty, our true selves are revealed, exposing the contrast between the faÃ§ade we exhibit and the authenticity that occasionally surfaces.

With spiritual work, the terms 'is' or 'are' become progress

With spiritual work, the terms 'is' or 'are' become progressively replaced by the term 'seems to', which is due to the increasing realization of the degree to which perception is the mask that hinders truth.
