The biggest blind spot of man is his ego
Ego is mankind’s boon and bane
One possibly can see nothingness
And beyond it everythingness
And beyond it too …
But the hardest thing to see is one’s own ego.
It is the ego which says I am a thinking storm and not something else
It is the ego that says I am tahir javaid and not someone else
Something to ponder upon … in the beyond

Thinking is wrong,

"I see that beneath the dark layer of nothingness is EVERYTHINGNESS. Beneath the nothing is love. And everything."

Never expect that a relationship will last if you use THESE words!

And if you write that again--at least on Chowq--nobody will suspect you know Baba Mental of Torn-Ronto or the Dancing Queen.

In the dreary routine of a mundane existence, it is the moments marked with such revelations that enlighten all your sphere of persona.

Happy enlightenment :)

cheers.

Thinking dude - you got my head spinnin with all this philosophical stuff. Man, you should start your own awareness class for Chowk. Enjoyed your discovery of everything in nothing.

{"as some of us realize that the end of times is not the end of times

as some of us despair that beneath the illusion is nothing but nothingness

I see that beneath the dark layer of nothingness is EVERYTHINGNESS."}

TS Pi,
Amazing statements that make us think even more deeply than when we focus on reality under the intoxication of forced fantasy. You could really get me to join your cult of meditation in opposition to exploitation of the nation. That trip to the desert has really set you apart from the mundane. Good thoughts expressed powerfully.
Your brother,
Salim Ahmed Chauhan
