Well said.

But I'd emphasize there is no secret. Don't waste time looking for a secret that doesn't exist. Just work.

Hotei, better known in the West as the laughing Buddha, came into town one day, back bent, carrying a heavy load in his bag. Someone approached him and said "Holy one, please tell me what is enlightenment like." Hotei put down his heavy load and stood up completely straight, a large smile on his face. The man said "Ah, I understand. Now please tell me what is after enlightenment". Hotei's smile grew even more, he picked up his heavy sack and bent under it again, then ambled off.
