Nowt Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I just saw this on a website where Advaita Vedanta was being discussed. I loved the quote and wanted to share it.... How to find your sentient immovable identity? Well let’s look for it...... Am I in outer life? Nah, beyond the skull is cacophony — not still, timeless or me. Am I my conscious thoughts? Nah, Thoughts are about things not no-thingness. Am I my emotions? Constantly changing and skewing the intellect — nope. Am I the ego? Me be a ghost in the goop works? Ew. Am I my core axioms of morality? Nah, they evolve, devolve, and dissolve. Am I my intuition? Nah, that conniving self serving hunch-machine is often wrong. Am I a soul? Maybe for 154 billion trillion years, but then it would become a bore. Am I the universe? A mere fleeting event! Big Bang was a firecracker. Am I the whole of creation? Who wants to be merely half divine? Am I God? The job is already taken. Am I the witness of ALL THIS? Only until it ain’t. Am I? Why limit myself? Am? Just a titch too is-ish. But close. Nice try! _____? Very close but a bit too question-markish. _____ Good attempt. Just gotta dump the blank-ish part. () Null sets are for nerds. But I like how they think about nothing. ANSWER None of the above. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Nice! 💙 Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'. The 'changeless' can be realized only when the ever-changing thought-flow stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
