Namaste,

 

This response indicates a lack of appreciation for the meaning of

vedanta or it is mixed up with western psychology.

 

Accepting pain, etc etc is detachment my friend.

 

Being aware and alive is just illusion, but even in illusion

everything is alive.

 

So there is a choice here, you don't understand Vedanta or perhaps

you are just and arrogant arseole.............hahahaah...ONS..Tony.

these words will themselves cause their own problems.

 

the elevation of the concept of nirvana to the top 10 list led to the

state that you see in india today.

 

somebody, somewhere had to point the cause and effect and ridicule

these temples of sloth and pessimism.

why do they teach dissatisfaction with what is?

 

being alive, and aware, is the scheme nature has for us. is it

illusion? who knows.

 

but to insist happiness (or the " goal of life " ) lies beyond nature is

not pragmatic. living right now seems to be the goal of life.

 

i don't yearn any Other Shore;this beach, its roses and thorns, is

good enough for me.

 

" in my opinion "

anything is possible.
