TIME .......................................................... ........................ANITA MOORJANI - THE REAL INFINITE SELF ............... LIFE: Buddha teaches that beauty is fleeting, life is impermanent and transitory. Pain and sorrow are an outcome of the craving egotistic self. We finally return to meditation again, to why we meditate. Meditation is a way, the Buddhas way of self-cleansing, self-elimination, of freeing the mind of its attachments to the impermananent and illusory. Through meditation we learn to detach the self from its assumptions, to realize that ego is substance-less, to free our mind from its defilements and illusions; to approach, through wisdom and compassion, the ultimate cessation of suffering which comes with Nibbana, the utter abandonment of our selfhood. In this no eternity is sought, no endless continuity. And no annihilation. For, since there is no one, what is there to annihilate? Or to eternalize?

The river of time runs continuously, taking no heed of dates and calendars. The importance that we attach to the beginnings or endings of years and centuries is a sentimental illusion, but even an illusion that rouses us to a consciousness of the stealthy gliding of the river may do us good, and we need all the helps we can find to wise retrospect and sober anticipation. So we must let the season colour our thoughts, even whilst we feel that in yielding to that impulse we are imagining what has no reality in the passing from the last day of one century to the first day of another. (Source: biblehub/commentaries/1_john/2-17.htm) THE REAL INFINITE SELF: “In truth, I am not my body, my race, religion, or other beliefs, and neither is anyone else. The real self is infinite and much more powerful … a complete and whole entity that is not broken or damaged in any way. The infinite me already contains all the resources I need to navigate through life, because I’m One with Universal energy. In fact, I AM Universal energy.” ~ Anita Moorjani
