Dear Merle,
Who wrote those words? Merle? Who is merle? Is body Merle?
The body of course never claims its ownership, so it is not body. Then
who else wrote those words.?
Certainly it is mind or ‘thinker’. But is ‘thinker’ you merle?
Where was thinker when you were born?
Is it not the mere data/information given by the world outside of the body?
There is no ‘you’ in you.
( Hence Buddha claims ‘No self’)
Suppose it is asked or told to you and if it is possible, give away
all information from where it is received, since it is not yours. What
happens then? Just think….,
at the end of giving away all information which is not yours what is
left? There is nothing. Not even your name ‘merle’ Just emptiness.
This emptiness is arrived by not laughing at a joke, but when being
serious to know what is truth.
Hence I say be serious.
I do not say keep thinking, by that you mean, you play with
information collected in your brain.
When I say think, it mean, look, just look at, or enquire who am I?
You are telling me a covering work, I am telling you a cleaning work.
I say look at there, there is wound you say no problem, let me cover
it up, so that you don’t see it.
But I say clean it, cure it , heal it.
So be serious.
best wishes
Suresh
