Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Questioner: If there is no advantage in gaining the Supreme, then why take the trouble? Nisargadatta Maharaj: There is trouble only when you cling to something. When you hold on to nothing, no trouble arises. The relinquishing of the lesser is the gaining of the greater. Give up all and you gain all. Then life becomes what it was meant to be: pure radiation from an inexhaustible source. In that light the world appears dimly, like a dream. -- From " I Am That " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an older-style Diamondtron-type flat screen here, for whatever it's worth ;-). Most of the attraction comes from the illusion of socializing, even though it's " just me " sitting here typing, reading, and imagining " you out there " . Or, no such imagining is happening, and one does it for the enjoyment (or whatever it is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever's here is just like a baby counting its toes, playing with yo-yos, listening to fluorescent lights hum, etc... that's all ;-).
