The word Life, God or Universe is a means by which unhappiness is overcome and satisfaction, happiness, nirvana and parinirvana attained. How is the word Life, God or Universe a means by which unhappiness is overcome? The word Life, God or Universe is a word which represents all other words. The word Life, God or Universe is like a pyramid. At the top is the word Life, God or Universe which equal all other words combined. The word Life, God or Universe is like a blossoming flower which gradually opens and unfolds other words as one concentrates one's self on the word Life, God or Universe. These words then direct one away from the word to the actual experience. The experience, not the word, creates knowledge. For example, the word red represents the experience of the color red. One gains knowledge by experiencing the color red for themselves. The word points to the experience. Therefore, to focus the self on the word Life, God or Universe helps one to focus the self on all forms of knowledge and experience. It is experience that expands one's soul, not the words. And it is through focusing the self on all forms of knowledge and experience that one overcomes unhappiness and attains satisfaction, happiness, nirvana and parinirvana, because it creates growth of the soul. |
