So here's my hammer, just stick out your toe. Look! If you are in the Absolute state, nothing hurts. If you are in the ordinary, relative state, you wll hurt people if you insult them. Are you going to hurt and insult people who are in the ordinary everyday state and then stick your finger in their nose and say, " see, it only hurts because you are not in the absolute state. " ? Do you think you are in the Absolute Enlightened state when you are writing your nasty, insulting rude remarks? Not a chance!!!
