Nowt Posted May 20, 2022 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
Faith Posted May 20, 2022 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.
