Marsha:
I don't disagree.
Here's an expanded quote again:
yourself.'
"When early Western investigators first read the Buddhist texts they too
interpreted nirvana as some kind of suicide. There's a famous poem that goes:
While living,
Be a dead man.
Be completely dead,
And then do as you please.
And all will be well.
It sounds like something from a Hollywood horror-film but it's about nirvana.
The Metaphysics of Quality translates it:
While sustaining biological and social patterns
Kill all intellectual patterns.
Kill them completely
And then follow Dynamic Quality
And morality will be served.
Lila was still moving toward Dynamic Quality. All life does. This breaking up
of her life's patterns looked like it was part of that movement."
(LILA, Chapter 32)
