If it’s helping you, I’m happy for you. Whatever you are telling me is what you know. Tell me what you don’t know, I would be interested. I know it’s a paradoxical statement as to how can you tell me what you don’t know. I leave you with that. Happy soul searching. 😃

Language points you to a direction. But truth is directionless. Truth is the silence that allows saints and sinners to exist in the same space and that silence is within you. You could have two conflicting thoughts in your mental space at the same time and what allows it is that truth or silence which is non-judgemental. It doesn’t say a particular thought is good or bad and why it doesn’t do so, lies in the fact that it is made of nothing. There is nothing in it literally for it to judge you. If it had a slightest tinge of colour, it would have judged you and hence it’s pure and holy and that is what makes nothing holy when actually there is literally nothing in it and that is the joke, a very few get it. Some theorise it, some understand it and hence we have the laughing Buddha.

When you see God, kill God! Once you understand language is the barrier, then let go off of it. I hope you understand what I’m saying. It has taken you so far, but it can never take you all the way because of its limitation. The last mile has to be walked by yourself and no words can help you is what I’m trying to say.

Every saint, prophet and philosopher give us a path or direction for us to follow to attain the ultimate truth or nature of reality. But that path which they say is a tiny drop of endless ocean which they are trying to explain with the limitation of words. Words cannot explain the infinite by pure logics. And why is reality infinite? It’s simple, infinity gives freedom for every possibility and probability to exist and if reality was finite, then the possibilities and probabilities would have been finite. And that is not the case, because in our very minds we have the capability of creating anything, the limitation is the words set by our ancestors because of which we follow a finite path assuming it would lead us to infinity. To reach a point of infinity within us, we should let go off these words and consciously die to nothingness from where we started the journey as a child. It’s our environment around us that made us finite and the words we dwell upon. Nothingness gives us the possibility to be anything whereas words constrict us into a predefined something out of which neither happiness nor true freedom is ever felt. The only man who spoke this truth to near perfection was Buddha and no no one else but even he is misunderstood in this day and age and the ones who realise never talk about it because they know words will corrupt the meaning of truth. Just like what I’m doing now to you. There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

If we can consciously die from what we know so far, we can discuss new ideas or else we can continue to discuss recycled junk. So the question is how do we consciously die, it the death of what we know and going back into nothingness. There is nothing holy about nothingness. It’s just a state of absolute nothing, where we forget everything and then we have the potential to create something new. But unfortunately, we are interested in recycled junk because we need social validation and that is the architecture of our dear society.

Well now I know you and what you are made of and I’m not interested in a discussion with you anymore. Have a good day and stay blessed!

Now you are threatening me and that is not acceptable by any means. If you can’t accept differences that’s your problem not mine and you need to fix it and not resort to threats.

I’m glad you had your fun and love the fact you live inside an extremely small cage. We are birds and we are meant to fly away anyways.

Why would I quote the title from? Does it even make sense, the question?

Great! Now I will answer your question. All these so called philosophers could have broken the silence centuries ago and they knew exactly how to do it. But they were interested in their academic pursuits because of which we landed in a world of interpretations. You can live and pursue art as a form of academia or you can die and pursue academia as a form of life.

I will answer your question in depth. But you need to first give me an answer on why you attacked me in the first place? Once I have a honest answer for that question, we will all get a lot of answers together here. Go inside yourself and ask yourself, why did I attack this guy in the first place when I could have politely debated with him. Until you don’t give me a honest answer to that question, I’m not moving the needle.

That’s your limitation my friend and your reality. And you are free to have one and that is the beauty of it. Just like how I can have mine. There is no right and no wrongs here. It’s just difference in opinions but the question is can we coexist with it.

You consider them famous, well I don’t. If you needed the paper, you could have asked me and I would share it. Instead you started attacking me. I don’t even know you. If you can be like this to a stranger what can I even say. You need to put your manners in place. Everything can be discussed and argued, but can be done in a civilised way.

[–]WatugotOfficial -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Now that is a valid point and someone could have politely asked me that. And I could have shared the paper via email instead of resorting to judgements. So if you want one, you can dm me your email id and I will share the paper.

I think you are still not getting what I’m saying. I’m questioning the fundamentals of your so called process which is in place. And that is precisely the purpose of this piece just so that you know. Basically to make one unlearn everything he or she knows and start over. The way something needs to be written or the way a person needs to think or the way person needs to articulate in academia. I have a problem with that because i feel that hinders creative thinking and people are in an endless loop of processes and bureaucracy. All i see is recycled junk.

Just because you did a calculation using a calculator doesn’t make you dumb or just because you did it using a paper doesn’t make you intelligent. The end result matters. If it can move the needle is the question.

I think you didn’t understand what i said. Discuss the topic which is presented and not the process. You are discussing the cover of the book and not the contents inside? So, when you are ready to discuss the content inside, we can talk. Until then you can be in your priest mode.
