Questions

Jignasu asked:Many times people ask me what I want to be, and what would you say if I asked you the same?
Jnani: Why would you seek to be someone or something?
Jignasu: Of course to be happy to find peace and enjoy life.
Jnani: Then the more important question is, what/who are you? When you say you want to be something, you are seeking something thats not in you. How can a true yogi seek anything being everything and nothing at the same time. The knowledge of self will clear the clouds of doubt and you will never want to be; as you will know you are everything that you everwanted to be.
Ignorance of the self creates an illusion of separateness just as a lid would separate air inside from air outside. The knowedge of self removes that and creates an illusinory union. The air in the vessel belongs to the vessel as much as it does to the sky it is under. So, even the ignorance of self and quest for knowledge of self are manifestations of the same ignorance of the the oneness that pervades everything and beyond. One who has understood this will equally be at ease in a remote cave as well as inmidst of all the worldly concerns, yet will remain free spirit as always.
