Daily Living
A reflection on reality and awareness
DAILY LIVING
What does an understanding of Awareness imply for daily living?
The unintended message leaking through many wisdom disciplines is that one resides solely in the understanding. One abides in God. One removes himself from the personal concerns of suffering. Further implying that one can simply abdicate from all suffering. One can live in bliss and solitude.
Impossible, of course, for most of us. We might as well die.
Masters of Enlightenment must feel that effort enough is required to break through this illusion we call Life. It must seem perverted, then, to suggest one must return to ignorance and toil. The difference, however, is subtle.
Whenever the issue is broached, the answer doesn’t fully satisfy.
Buddha said: None are enlightened until all are enlightened. Go help them.
Christ said: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Go teach them.
