Why (2)

“Life”


Knowledge compels man and woman to question ‘why’ because knowledge has conditioned man and woman that everything that happens in daily life, which is understood, not understood, accepted or not accepted, has a cause.

When the cause of what happens is understood and the cause is accepted, it is accompanied with various emotions, with varied intensity and with a consequence, which is pleasant when expressed.

Wisdom regarding ‘why’ with reference to whatever happens in life, however, is accompanied with emotions without any consequence. So what is this wisdom of ‘why’, is the question?

Wisdom reveals that a moment in life is always present. Wisdom reveals that a moment, which is always present in life, is precise. Wisdom reveals that the content, which is within any moment, is precise as well.

Wisdom reveals that the content, which is within any moment, cannot be other than the content, which is in the moment. Wisdom reveals that the timing of the content is always precise as well.

Wisdom of life reveals that the content within the moment is neither late nor early. Wisdom of life reveals that the content of any moment in life is always precisely on time.

Wisdom of life reveals that neither the moment nor the content of the moment has a cause. Wisdom in life reveals that the content of any moment, which has no cause, cannot be another content than the content in the moment, which has no cause.

Wisdom of life reveals that the content of any moment in life is always air, water, heat and earth in time and space. Wisdom reveals that neither the moment nor the content of the moment, which is always air, water, heat and earth in time and space is not made by man.

Wisdom of life reveals that the content of any moment in life is always an illusion of air, water, heat and earth in time and space. Wisdom of life reveals that the illusion of the five elements cannot be other than the illusion which is present in any moment.

Wisdom of life reveals that man and woman can only ask why if they were able to make any moment in life. Knowledge of cause deceives man and woman that they can ask why, whereas the cause of air, water, heat, earth, time and space is not known.

Knowledge takes life for granted and, therefore, questions why. Wisdom understands that what happens in any moment is a gift by the intelligence in life to man and woman to understand who he or she really is.

Wisdom reveals that man and woman will realise who they really are when deep understanding of life and nature happens to them. The enlightened have rightly proclaimed that man and woman will realise their true self in life and nature when they understand life and nature deeply.

Editor’s Note:
The mind has a purpose; that purpose is to know. There is no limit to its desire for knowledge, rooted in the belief that knowledge endows power and position in the competitive community of life. Furthermore, the intelligence of life has gifted man the word ‘why’ to aid this desire, albeit illusory. Accordingly, man spares no effort nor expense to serve mind’s purpose to discover the cause of things. The wise, ever compassionate to man’s welfare, reveal in this article and elsewhere, their deep understanding of life and nature, so that man may come to realise his true nature: who he or she really is.
