“Man was not truly seeking liberation
All the time, he was trying to become immortal.
The idea of liberation — mokṣa or nirvāṇa
is often misunderstood, because it implies the complete dissolution of the individual self.
If liberation of the self were the only goal,
a single mantra would have been enough.
Then why did we develop
sophisticated mantras, yantras, and tantras?
Why yoga, āsanas, meditation,
disciplined living, and eating healthy?
These were not created to dissolve life,
but to sustain it.
Everything was designed
to preserve energy, refine the body,
and extend life to live here,
consciously, in the physical body.
The real pursuit was not liberation,
but to endure life and become immortal”

Man was the pariah-dog, the moral leper in this translucent mirror of Heaven. He was the muddier of crystal waters, the despoiler of forests, the murderer of the innocent, the challenger against God. He was the assassin of the saints and the prophets, for they spoke of what he WOULD NOT HEAR, in the darkness of his spirit!”

We try, and succeed to a certain extent, but the fall is always - will always be - there.”
