Taoist Writings: Can an ordinary person be enlightened living in our stressful world?

Full Question:

How is it possible for an ordinary person to get enlightenment living in our stressful world even if Tibetan Lamas/ Dakini’s put years into tantra practice to get enlightened? It sounds as if to please people, honestly.

An ordinary person is seeing. And a Tibetan Lama is seeing.

Then what is seen is interpreted one way or another.

Stress might be felt, enlightenment may be known, pleasing people and being honest… and so on and so on and so on and so on.

Something is sure that it is disturbed.

It notices a thing and something that is Presence calls it a bird. It notices another thing and calls it the sky. Before the naming, it is as it is. Following the naming, it is as it is.

You appears not to know.

I appears to know.

Nothing is hidden. There is seeing.

What thinks it doesn’t know the answer? What thinks it sees?

I looks this way then that yet has not moved.

I sees this and that but nothing is different.

And the one that cannot become believes it is becoming. One day it notices itself and the becoming which never was appears to end.
