Some people believe that they should just keep on meditating, and someday their egg will hatch and they will fly out of the shell and ascend to a completely different level.
I once tried to capture the "nothing to do" attitude with the following simile: all the scriptures and practices are just wood for your own funeral pyre. Internalizing "nothing-to-do" after you have piled up a lot of wood is what sets it (and you) on fire.

lovely metaphor!
Can't believe I understood what simile meant, now that I looked into this I feel the simile/metaphor distinction is very silly. But thanks!
