Why is linear better than the moment?

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

I also enjoyed the story of the elderly lady at university. Without

sounding cynical it comes under warm fuzzies.

I don't know what was in her mind so I can't comment on her but I can

speak generally.

 

Would it not be better at an advanced age to try and live in the

moment instead of linearly satisfying lifetime desires. I know

people understand that for they live linearly also. Why is it better

to live a dream, surely it would be better to end one and become

realised 'Who am I?'. It is the living of dreams that keeps us trapped

in this false world of illusion and samsara.

 

It is better to fix a goal then forget about it, and live in the

moment surrendering to the Divine Sakti. We cannot change what is to

happen only our attitude to it. That is the secret of the path to

liberation, cessation not building dreams.

 

Just my opinion.

 

Om Namah Sivaya, Tony.

Lost in the snowstorm of now

each seeks shelter

in thier own way.
