how well do i know you, Mr. M?
man is the highest fruit on the tree of evolution. it is for a man to realize his position in nature and understand the true meaning of his life. do know your purpose and then, you will discover for yourself. guidelines can be given, but you must create the necessary conditions for the arising of realization yourself.
man maybe clever enough to land on the moon and discover wondrous things in the universe, but has yet to delve into the inner workings of his own mind. he has yet to learn how his mind can be developed to the fullest potential so that its true nature can be realized.
as yet, man is still wrapped in ignorance. he does not know who he really is or what is expected of him. as a result, he misinterprets everything and acts on that misinterpretation.
it is not conceivable that our entire civilization is built on this misinterpretation? the failure to understand his existence leads him to assume a false identity of a bloated, self-seeking egoist, and to pretend to be what he is not or is unable to be.
man must be make an effort to overcome ignorance to arrive at realization. all great men are born as human beings from the womb, but they worked their way up to greatness. realization cannot be poured into the human heart like water into the tank.
man can be enlightened if he wakes up from the 'dream' that is created by his own ignorant mind, and becomes fully awakened. he must realize that what he is today is the result of an untold number of repetitions in thoughts and actions. he is not ready-made, he is continually process of becoming, always changing. and it is in the characteristic of change that his future lies, because it means that it is possible for him to mould his character and destiny through the choices of his actions, speech and thoughts. indeed, he becomes the thoughts and actions that he chooses to perform.
