Almost everything we do is selfish. So the advice from various sources is that you whittle that right back to the bare minimum. I guess that means job, shelter, food only. Or if you live in a country where they allow people to become professional seekers, do that. Get up at 4am, eat a bowl of gruel and meditate/pray all day. If you're after the big prize (enlightenment or "heaven") it's pretty much a requirement regardless of the style of religion you're into. How many make it? No idea. One could reasonably assume the number is small - "many are called", etc.

I meditate most days. Helps with trading, but that's the extent of it. I find the comparitive religion stuff interesting though.

Scripture says a great multitude no one can count from every nation
It's fair to say, what we claim should align with scripture and with so many contradictions
Mystery of the Lord will be accomplished at the trumpet sound of sorts
