A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Elay Amitay Halevi explaining that a core part of spiritual work is letting go of the need for reward. The speaker uses a snake metaphor: the negative influence either 'bites from the head' (making you reactive and without light) or 'from the tail' (allowing progress but then causing obsession with when spiritual progress will produce personal benefit). The passage warns that fixating on when benefits will arrive can destroy spiritual work.
