Trying to stop > waiting, that would itself be a form of waiting too. :-( So, why not stop the speculations and look into the one who waits or tries to stop waiting? I know everyone who has studied any nonduality will say, " there is no one who waits " blah, blah. But that kind of talk fits under the same category that you called " trying to stop waiting. " Thus -- don't accept what others have accepted because they heard someone supposedly wise say it. And don't accept what you yourself say. Of course, this applies to me as well, and anyone. The breaking apart you say you're waiting for is actually being avoided. It's the avoidance that needs looking into. Rather than assuming one is waiting for something, or should try not waiting. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
