I think, if he said that, he was the one who mistook himself and the situation, thereby depriving himself of a lot of entertainment. Think of it, If as advaita says there is 'not two', and as the Buddha said 'he obtained not a thing from unexcelled enlightenment', what is this life about but passing the time? And there are only two magazines in doctor death's waiting-room: one is called suffering, the other is called entertainment. People do not take 'the not two' and 'nothing to get' truths to their ultimate merciless consequences. >J: Well, I'm disheartened to discover that my life is about pleasuring > myself moment to moment w different images and experiences and > avoiding uncomfortable ones. P: Wait a minute! You should be elated to have discovered that. That's is really a very important discovery. Stay with it. Watch how your mind is like a pet always begging, waiting for the next treat, novelty, high, pleasure, bliss, insight. That stance of constant expectation is the root of dissatisfaction. That stance will never be satisfied by anything material or spiritual. But if the predicament is seen clearly, it might vanish leaving equanimity, acceptance and openness in its place. 1.
