Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 in classical teaching the self-nature of all living beings is said to be sat-chit-ananda (truth-consciousness-bliss). a long time ago a naive young man in india went to his teacher and asked " it is obvious i am the truth. it is obvious i am conscious. but where has the bliss gone? i am full of misery " . the teacher took a stick and pushed at an ant walking nearby. the ant recoiled from the pain and went another way. the teacher said: " the ant was already in bliss. it became aware of the pain and tried to go back to its state of bliss. " it took him almost ten years to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
