Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 The end of misery is to determine its source and to eliminate the source. All misery begins with attachment (either to things or ideas), to end attachment, is to end misery. In the end, you are and always will be what you were in the beginning. It is said that the true Self does not change (immutable), only the apparent self undergoes change and suffering. You do not remember what you were before a certain age, and you do not know what you will be, all you know is now... and even "now" is only a memory or a thought. Both the past and the future being intangible and of the nature of memory (or a dream), how can "now" be anything different? The Truth of who you are is un-knowable by the senses or the mind, and therefore not subject to 'experience'. The Truth may only be inferred to exist by rejecting what is known and remaining in that state of not knowing (which in itself is knowledge, so even that must be rejected). By rejecting the known, what remains? ------------------------ gurorangripadme ManaScenna Lagnam tata: kim tata: kim tata: kim tata: kim for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
