If one understand gestalt one understands that the focus and the background are both part of the picture BUT most people see and identifies with either the focus of the picture or the background like the finger pointing at the moon.
When the finger is pointed towards the moon it is only to indicate it not to watch the moon or watch the finger.
Likewise satan and god are just two sides but when the mind is in control it is the side of the satan and when the other side is in control god is seen.
The same reason Budhha never talked about God.
As KOAN mentioned SUCHNESS.
Where what is, IS.
There is no more god or satan.
Till ones god is kept alive satan too will be alive automatically somewhere
When one is no more fixed/ attached with either that both drops to that SUCHNESS.
Rivers become rivers and mountains become mountains.

What is wrong with using words like "I" and "My" to explain one's point? You didn't answer.

Actually, it was mind in an amused state. Even more so now.

Hema, friend, it is better to remember that in the end, there truly IS no answer. Just emptiness.



Peace,
Mystic

The goal as understood and written in all the posts remains
MERGING OF THE INDIVIDUAL ENERGY WITH THE UNIVERSAL ENERGY
the word ENERGY could be replaced with SOUL.

Request all friends to write the goal as understood by them.

I think he is searching for a common-denominator for the "meaning of life"

Friends,
The confusion throughout mankind has been that the goal of us humans has not been defined by all. Each one has different meanings of the same goal.
YES, when we all understand that where are we going, why are we into religion?
If the answere is the same a concensus arrived then all differnces disappear and then all can join forces to create a global energy field which keeps the light burning and more lights lit by the same fire.
Friends, only in being awake that answeres come, awakening is the same as been just awake. like twilight, no hurryness. So many words but still difficult to get the message across in languages no doubt truth when spoken does not remain so. Evident everyday here or anywhere.
We are all parts of the same and only by serious meditation can one go deeper into the centre of oneself when the self is no more but becomes a part of the whole. Here too the journey just begins the actual birth takes place called rebirth by some. For the first time the man really starts to live life, live life in harmony. a real sense of timelessness, nothingness etc is felt but not yet achived. Here on the mind is no more able to disturb to create any barriers as the light enters the darkness disappears.
Till this age man reached the state in solitude, alone [yes it will always be so but with a difference- difference been the flowering could now be in large numbers.]
Man has evolved for centuries now to have a bigger pool of people who are now ready and if such a force is available here what better fortitude for mankind.

Whatever be the state of MIND it needs constant watching.
Till all thr ipples settles reflection will not be clearly seen.
An in that seen when the seer and the seen becomes ONE duality merges and does not remain two.
