Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting you to put God as our business partner at the end. I was too busy getting mad at the man in the story who kept the 100%.
Great story plot, btw. You certainly zeroed in on the man's ingratitude effectively. I guess, we all experience a bit of that ingratitude at one time or another in our lives. A big Ooops!
Who says that the body exists?
There is no question at all of name and form.
To wonder whether a realised being sees anything outside of himself,
is also beside the point.
Who is there to whom he can say,
"Give to my body"!
Yet this state of wanting is precisely the reason for one's belief in the reality of the body.
Therefore,
since there is no world and no body,
there can be no action either;
this stands to reason.
To make it quite clear:
after Self-realisation there is no body,
no world, and no action –
not even the faintest possibility of these – nor is there such an idea as "there is not".
To use words is exactly the same as not to speak;
to keep silent or not, is identical.
