It looks like you've posted the most insightful reply to Card's query.
Good work, Share!
Now this is funny, you've got to admit: a discussion group composed of
numerous wise men (vivekins), tantrics, yogis, adepts, fakirs, and
life-long seekers apparently didn't even know the primary word in
Hinduism or Buddhism. One guy thought it meant a 'bad axel-hole', and
the other guy got offended, now the first guy said it was 'axel-rod'.
Now that's really funny!

post your message and waste our time and take up band space? Not all
of us are here just to make fun of Hindus.
Are there any serious writers on this forum - I mean other than an
editor, a few coders, and a baker? I'm beginning to think nobody,
except the Cardmiester, on this list has ever even read Patajali's
Yoga Sutras - even in English translation. This is starting to look
like a total waste of time anymore. Have any of you guys ever thought
about using Twitter for your one-liners? Go figure.
"Dukkha (Pali; Sanskrit: dukkha; Tibetan sdug bsngal) is a Buddhist
term commonly translated as "suffering", "anxiety", "stress", or
"unsatisfactoriness". The principle of dukkha is one of the most
important concepts in the Buddhist tradition. The Buddha is reputed to
have said: "I have taught one thing and one thing only, dukkha and the
cessation of dukkha." The classic formulation of these teachings on
dukkha is the doctrine of the Four Noble Truths, in which the Truth of
Dukkha (Pali: dukkha saccã; Sanskrit: du?kha-satya) is identified as
the first of the four truths."

Who exactly are you calling an axle-hole? :-)

possible
meaning is that for the person in CC, there is the infinite Self and the
finite non Self and that duality itself causes misery. OR the person in
CC realizes that all, meaning the world, is a field of change, misery
rather than of permanent bliss.
