Two ends but one stick... Where does each end of the stick begin? , where does the end become the stick ?.... is there two ends and a stick somewhere in the middle ?........... or is it just a stick ?
Bhur Bhuva Svah
We tend to look at our existence as a stick, or a river, or a path, some even perhaps as a mission of some sort... All of these have a beginning and an end, with the middle bit 'life' being determined by those extremities. What if we just looked at it as nothing of any importance , the stick in unaware of it's two ends, the river just flows, the path and the mission are both evidence of mind being your master.
Thought is a fulfilling slave, but a terrible master.
