Franklin Merrell-Wolff:
“Before all other objectives, man should seek that Goal known as Enlightenment. Before the attainment of this Realization, all effort, all experience and all knowledge has durable value only in so far as they may serve to bring nearer that culmination. All which serves not this End is, at best, empty or actively injurious. The life which produces no slightest advance toward this Goal is wasted and without worth. Such a life is like the journey of the squirrel in the rotating cage, which ends just where it started, or it is a descending course to the darkness of oblivion. That joy or pain, success or failure, gain or loss, peace or struggle, whether small or great, which leads on, little or much, to the luminous End is good.”

Beautiful!
