Guest guest Posted May 13, 2001 Report Share Posted May 13, 2001 Why practice concentration? Another passage that shows great personal insight in this topic...... " Now if by some means, naturally or though some effort, the same scattered mind is quietened and concentrated a little so that it does not run in infinite directions, then those who have observed these things at once find that behind this infinite number of external phenomena there is another reality, a finer, more unified reality. Or to put it more correctly, they discover that reality is something beyond this infinite number of external phenomena or forms. The real is something beyond the forms, just lying in the background, as you go to a movie, the screen is always there. At first, before the movie begins, you see the white screen in the dark. Then, afterwards you see all kinds of figures enacting a drama, and those are the things you notice....... You see when your mind is quietened you become aware of the real. " ==================== This particular talk is fascinating. I will try and post some more passages.... jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
