Orb Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Nothing has ever been possessed, so nothing can be lost. When did something ever come into one's possession? 🤔 Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did something ever come into one's possession? 🤔 When? ...Once the "sense of self" was formed and the child said, "mine!" My toy, my candy, mine, mine, mine. This just continues on to bigger and better objects, but we can't take any of it with us and even while here can be taken away very easily. Best to not get attached and just "be" as @almond said. Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.
