Why does enlightenment requires hard work?

When the trash can's full, you'll carry it out. Right? Do the same with your brain. Take out the garbage.

@Bestyle2209 Wasn't meaning it like that, it was merely a question.

Because whatever ideas you may or may not have about Truth or being God actually aren't it.

That's knowing it...but to really truly know it you need to become it.  Or in other words become what you always were.  

This cannot be accomplished via the rational, logical mind.  It must be accomplished via mysticism.  Afterall, Reality is fundamentally mystical in nature.  The rational mind lies within Reality and thus cannot reach outside to grasp reality.

Becoming a mystic doesnt happen overnight despite what one might think.  And even one mystical experience will only reveal part of the Truth to you, if any at all.

that way to justify your own misery

there is no joke, it's very serious work, it never ends, so you'll be better starting now

Misery is imagination. Work is imagination. 

Start loving now that is all what you have to do, that is all you are. Be yourself as yourself. Be Love that you are no work required. 

But I would still love that hot asian hippie girl to be next to me. No unicorns anymore so much work around them. They are cute only in stories.

@Bestyle2209 @Bestyle2209  Mind is the greatest obstacle to realize truth.

Mind keeps on producing thoughts and the attention keeps on moving outside.

The voluntary thoughts or thinking can be controlled to certain extent but the involuntary thoughts keep coming.

So to still the mind to be devoid of thoughts it requires great practice.

Since thoughts has become a habbit it takes great effort to un do that habbit.

A calm quiet thoughtless stillness is required which is very difficult to master.

When one is having addictions desires suppressed emotions they will keep comming.

Wether one is trying to detach from mind or thoughts emotions feelings as witness

Or 

One is trying to concenterate on breath or i feeling 

Mind is a distraction.Disease.obstacle.

Hence it is very difficult and requires effort.
