Thanks Mark, We agree in different ways. Sounds good to me ………your words are much better then mine, but of course I make no judgement. “The purpose of a motor car is transportation.” Using this expression as your core principle. While it’s correct to say ““The purpose of a motor car is transportation.” There are clearly many other purposes for a car. To sustain business. To advertise status. To cherish in a museum, to be crushed into granules and recycled into a computer. Exploring Advaita has no absolutes. Purpose has no absolutes. Love has no absolutes. Fear, Hope, Beauty, Anger, Stupidity, Happiness, Depression. Etc, Etc, these human conditions are not finite. In Opinion -:- All of these intangible Human conditions are created my the individual, suffer or enjoyed by the individual and ultimately destroyed by the individual. The purpose of such conditions must clearly be defined by the individual who makes manifest. No individual can completely or fully appreciate the conditions of another. Therefore Only the individual can fully know and experience their conditions of purpose, Fear, Hope, Beauty, Anger, Stupidity, Happiness, Depression. Etc, Etc, Unlike the car which came with a manual and a tangible purpose. Humans have only themselves to examine and fully understand and trust. Advaita – only points to an very old understanding of all the universe being instrumental in a synchronised momentary event, known as this now. Like a light beacon in a stormy sea it directs the heart and mind to look and think about this now in a new way. Instead of seeing this world as separates, past, future, my stuff, your stuff, big and small. Advaita says look again. Look deeper. Listen harder. All is not what it seems ……….. .
