Li le Mouse has a lot to think about, and a lot to do as well. He knows that for Self Realization, you have to really want it more than your life, for that is what it is, more than your life. Now he will memorize the fi ve steps: A ention, Concentration, Meditation, Contemplation, Self Realization. Lion Sage has taught him that the realization of the Self is worth seeking for. It is worth striving hard for—to be achieved by all souls at some point during their many lifetimes. Mouse sees that we are not on this planet to become educated, to get things, to make money, to have fun, to dress up the physical body, to acquire property, to feed ourselves. We are on this planet for the realization of the Self—to know God, and our oneness with God and with all things. is is what the great minds of the past have pondered. is is what the great yogis have meditated for in caves and in snowy mountains. Mouse knows the Great Path and knows the goal. Now it’s up to him what he will do with that knowledge.
