Two Impediments To Enlightenment

There are only two impediments to enlightenment.

The first is delusion of reasoning.

The second obstacle to an enlightened life is delusion of practice.

These are the two Big Delusions.

The delusion of reasoning is based on ignorance and perhaps a refusal to accept the literal truth and concrete evidence for that truth.

Delusion of practice means that we let our base wants and desires get in the way of actions that contribute to our enlightenment. This includes greed, gluttony, lascivious behavior and generally vices of all kinds including the soft vices of laziness and procrastination.
