Namaste, all

 

Sri R.K.Nair wrote in one of his postings:

 

<<< There are several examples in our everyday life. For example, I say that

today I enjoyed a tasty meal. But if we investigate that act of enjoyment, we

find that at the precise moment of enjoyment neither I, nor the meal was present

in the consciousness. It was pure bliss. But we fail to recognize this, since

our focus is on the objects that we believe to have provided that enjoyment.>>>

 

I have a serious doubt:

 

What about a painful situation? Suppose I cut my finger with a knife, at the

precise moment of pain, what existed (?) in the consciousness? It cannot be

bliss.

 

I think we should also investigate into the moments of pain otherwise,

investigation cannot lead us anywhere.

 

Hari Om
