How Enlightened Are You? A Test:

Well. . . If you can live without caffeine or nicotine;
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains;
If you can resist complaining;
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you any time;
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment;
If you can ignore friends' limited educations and never correct them;
If you can treat the rich and poor alike;
If you can face the world without lies or deceit;
If you can conquer tension without medical help;
If you can relax without liquor;
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs;
If you can have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, gender, sexual preference, or politics — — then you have almost reached the same level of spiritual development as your dog.

I loved this so much I had to copy and paste from Dan Millmans newsletter - remember the author of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior? You can check him out at www.danmillman.com

Not forgetting plenty of rest.

Taking the blame for noxious gases also fits in with the martyr-ish territory that can sometimes go with enlightened beings...
