Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Who wants the happiness? Who is asking the above question? Who is asking the above two questions? There is no one to answer. No one to receive the answer either. All thoughts & thoughts & nothing else. But no person to have those thoughts. Waves on the ocean. Movements in consciousness.
