Akshay,
[Pirsig quoted in Caryl's blog]
“From the perspective of a subject-object science, the
world is a completely purposeless, valueless place.
There is no point in anything. Nothing is right and
nothing is wrong. Everything just functions, like
machinery. There is nothing wrong with being lazy,
nothing morally wrong with lying, with theft, with
suicide, with murder, with genocide. There is nothing
morally wrong because there are no morals, just
functions."
SA: Akshay, maybe you could help clear something
up for me that I heard while in the university in a
Oriental Philosophy of Religion course. The professor
said he had met some guru's of India philosophy, I
don't know of what school, that proclaimed that at a
certain 'stage' of understanding, everything is good
or another way of putting it is 'nothing is wrong'.
Guru's at this 'stage' didn't profess and didn't live
morals. They did whatever they wanted to and felt it
was ok. I read how you mentioned that a murderer is
G-d. Up above is a quote where s/o
reasoning/intellectualizing states "...there are no
morals, just functions." Are you, as well, professing
this? Please explain this.
woods,
SA
