The Buddha Said
And so, that is a nice little tangle
If I put this in the language of oriental philosophy and religion
It would be something like this
The Buddha said that, "Wisdom
Must come only from the abandonment of selfish craving, or desire"
The Buddha said that, "Wisdom
Must come only from the abandonment of selfish craving, or desire"
One who abandons that desire attains nirvana
Which is supreme peace
Liberation
Nirvana means in Sanskrit
"Blow out"
That is exhale the breath
'Hale the breath
The opposite, desire, is to breathe in
Now, if you breathe in, and hold it
You lose your breath
But if you breathe out, it comes back to you
It comes back to you
The Buddha said that, "Wisdom
Must come only from the abandonment of selfish craving, or desire"
The Buddha said that, "Wisdom
Must come only from the abandonment of selfish craving, or desire"
So the principle here is if you want life, don't cling to it
Let go
Let go
But the problem is if I desire not to desire
Is that not already desire?
How can I desire not to desire?
How can I surrender myself?
When myself is precisely an urge to hold on
To cling?
To cling to life, to continue to survive
To survive
To survive
The Buddha said that, "Wisdom
Must come only from the abandonment of selfish craving, or desire"
The Buddha said that, "Wisdom
Must come only from the abandonment of selfish craving, or desire"
I can see rationally
That by clinging to myself, I may strangle myself
I may be like a person who has a bad habit
As a result of which he is committing suicide
And he knows that
But can't give it up
Because the means of death are so sweet
If I put this in the language of oriental philosophy and religion
It would be something like this
