suffering

So long as nothing ceases to excite, your mind never ceases to exist;


and so long the mind does not cease to exist, reacting to the excitement - misery continues. 


When everything ceases to excite, the mind ceases to exist; 


and when the mind ceases to exist, there is no more reaction. i.e. only cognizing part (sanya, in pali) of the mind exists and not the reactionary part (sankhara, in pali); 


and with only cognizing mind, there is no craving or aversion or ignorance. i.e. no attachment; 


and when there is no attachment, there is no misery or suffering;


and where there is no suffering, that is the real peace, happiness, nibbana. 




may all beings experience nibbana!

एहसास् - a realization

हो गए हैं शामिल भीड में हम भी
बन गए हैं हिस्सा इस पागलपन के हम भी
खो दिए हैं वो उसूल सारे

reflecting

Interesting read... I seem to agree with this a lot!

"Now we look back on medieval peasants and wonder how they stood it. How grim it must have been to till the same fields your whole life with no hope of anything better, under the thumb of lords and priests you had to give all your surplus to and acknowledge as your masters. I wouldn't be surprised if one day people look back on what we consider a normal job in the same way. How grim it would be to commute every day to a cubicle in some soulless office complex, and be told what to do by someone you had to acknowledge as a boss—someone who could call you into their office and say "take a seat," and you'd sit! Imagine having to ask permission to release software to users. Imagine being sad on Sunday afternoons because the weekend was almost over, and tomorrow you'd have to get up and go to work. How did they stand it?"
