Friends:


DELUSION



There is no other single thing
Which hinders humans
By which they ramble on day & night
as the delusion of not knowing.



We rush forward and miss the essential point ...
Blindly believing phenomena to be as they appear.
Compulsively binding themselves again & again,
they fall, burning like insects, into the flame.



Some hankering public admiration, name, & fame,
clinging to what are merely opinions, beliefs & views,
they sink - in between - lacking firm foothold on the other shore,
not yet having gained the certainty of direct experience,



We humans are obsessed with the mere idea:
“I am the doer” or “another is the Doer” …
Thus constructing “a creator – a self” !!!
we do not fully comprehend that this very
construing is the agonizing dart itself ...
While the one recognizing this false view
- a priori – to be the dart, does not construe
nor imagine any ‘agent’ neither as ‘self’ nor as ‘another’!



Respectfully yours,


Friendship is the GREATEST !!
& the whole Motivation behind
the entire Noble Life ...

A saying of the Buddha from http://metta.lk/
Though much he recites the Sacred Texts, but acts not accordingly, that
heedless man is like a cowherd who counts others' kine. He has no share in
the fruits of the Holy life.
Random Dhammapada Verse 19
