Kindle Notes & Highlights
When we take these masks as our true identity, then an unending struggle takes place. It is like the ocean forgot that she is this unfathomable, vast sea and ended up believing that she is merely this tiny drop of water. This is what happens in our consciousness and this is what is the prime mover of all of our struggles.
“You cannot get butter by squeezing sand.”
To worry about life being meaningful is a little bit like worrying about insomnia. The more we worry, the more sleep escapes us.
absolute freedom is the absence of all wanting;
There is life that exists in our head. It is nothing more than reading a story about the life of a character in a novel. It’s fiction, made-up stories. None of it is real. That life in our head, the one we grasp and believe to be true, is actually only happening like a movie, like a novel in our head, in our deluded mind. It’s not really happening.
There is no grand truth that is beyond life itself. Life is the divine. Life is emptiness. Life is oneness.
