How long have we been on the journey? [Buddha explains]

4 posts in this topic

Imagine a mountain. Six miles long, six miles wide, six miles high. And very hundred years a bird flies over the mountain with a silk scarf in its beak; and it runs this silk scarf over the mountain once every hundred years. The length of time it would take the silk scarf to wear away the mountain - that’s how long we’ve been doing this.

This life is less than a blink of an eye.

'When you look outside yourself for something to make you feel complete, you never get to know the fullness of your essential nature.' - Amoda Maa Jeevan

I heard that analogy as a kid in high school. Made me realize that eternity is so infinitely timeless. No wonder Consciousness creates.


Just because God loves you doesn't mean it is going to shape the cosmos to suit you. God loves you so much that it will shape you to suit the cosmos.
