Life must begin with enlightenment!
“One of my wayfarers, told me that the state of "Sunya" the void or nothingness is the final stage, the goal. For if this state of pure consciousness is experienced; it proves that the whole of Samsara, the Universe, is but an illusion, Maya”, said the snake.
“A very high state of knowing”, said the Yogi. “Necessary to be known. But like I have said before, if after this stage, you still exist in the world of forms, there must be a reason, to continue. If enlightenment is the culmination of meditations, then must life end with its achievement? That would be absurd, wouldn’t it? So that is not the final state, the trek must go on. Like you yourself inferred, we start this trek looking for solutions to sorrow, and what solution do we come up with? Negate the whole of life, that will rid you of sorrow; this is wrong inference. Much like destroying the whole Universe because part of it is wrong? asked the Yogi. Life, must begin with enlightenment”.
