Guest guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Mr. Ego: Guruji, what is the meaning of life? guruji: Compared to Reality, life is just a hallucination. Hallucinations cannot have meaning. They can have no meaning because in Reality nothing is happening. Hallucinations can have no more meaning than the light reflected off the movie-screen can have meaning. " Meaning " is just a thought in the collection of thoughts called the hallucination, otherwise the mind. The mind is what it hallucinates. Ego: What is this Reality? guruji: Reality is the unfathomable JOY and Silence of dreamless- sleep. Physics calls this Reality its Unified Field. You, dearest Ego, are this Reality that I am. Ego: Why does Reality hallucinate? guruji: For the Joy of it. Reality is this Joy called life, maya – hallucinations, entertainment. Ego: But what about all the misery, pain and suffering. guruji: Dearest Ego, the only way to hallucinate pleasure is to swing back like a pendulum from some sort of pain. Without tragedies there can be no laughter. The Joy of maya, life, comes from observing imaginary-doers or egos keep their pendulum swinging from one duality into the other for the Joy of entertainment. Ego: What about Advaita? guruji: Advaita is nothing but the non-duality of hallucinations. Ego: But what about the gods? guruji: When the sages of old figured out that life was just a hallucination their gods came to ask them for advise. But it makes no difference. Once you are Awake you can worship your gods, or you can give them the advice they need to hallucinate like you. Or you can even kick your god's asses back into hells of their demons, and die laughing. Ego: But guruji that is a SACRILEGE! guruji: Only if you believe in your hallucinations. Until you realize the utter simplicity and JOY of hallucinations you can only generate the karma that life needs to be entertaining. Ego: What is karma? guruji: Whatever you take seriously in your hallucinations, be it gods or their demons, be it pleasure or pain, crying or laughing. Ego: But we have technology and computers... how can they be hallucinations. guruji: Thousands of years ago when sages Realized that life was just a hallucination they were called Self-realized, Awake, like Krishna and Buddha. Today, those who hallucinate are cured of their Realization with science's drugs so that instead of being called Self-realized they can be called schizophrenics. That, my dearest ego, is all science and technology does for you. Science gives you the drugs you need to make your hallucinations real. And those drugs that make you hallucinate are condemned and banned so you do not wake up and Realize that life is just the hallucinations of dreamless-sleep, the Reality that Physics calls its Unified Field. Ego: guruji, are you my inner or outer guru? guruji: I am what your mind thinks. In Reality I am just these thoughts that come out of nothing to return into the Nothing to be the Nothing that is the utter Silence and JOY of the Unified Field. -- thoughts from Nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
