You can not. If you actually engage in this simple test you will find that you can't stop thinking for more than a few seconds. You will find that your base state is not happiness and contentment, but of a continuous flow of random thoughts and emotions
Your ego will attempt to slough this information off as irrelevant but it is most relevant. It is a fact that you do not have control over your own mind. This uncontrollable mind IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR DELUSION. How can one see that they can't stop thinking and yet still think they are sane?
You can deny all you want but I see it as clearly as the lake outside of my front window. I am, out of concern for you, trying to break you out of your delusion but it has settled in very deep.
It matters not to me. Everyone deserves exactly what they get. I have received Moksha due to my engagement in the practice prescribed by Ramana Maharshi. Those who ignore the teaching will continue on in Samsara
I know there is nothing to understand, and that's what I understand...how about you, can you understand there is nothing to understand?henry quirk wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 3:48 pm Yes, I understand it...but I cannot help you there.
Ain't nuthin' there to understand which is why you can't.
There's a place of perfect peace, but no one want's to live there. They'd rather play with sam and sara. Or is that Samsara?Harbal wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 3:53 pmWanker.roydop wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 3:30 pm Can you sit in a chair without doing anything or thinking anything, and experience happiness?

1. The reason for the life of "your name here", is that it is a Divine game designed by you (aka: "God") for your own entertainment.henry quirk wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 3:28 pmMeaning: you understand it, yeah?Roy’s theory is correct.
Fine. Lay it out for me.
No it's not called death, it's called this aliveness right here and now that you are.
Well, lookee here, Dam: seems like there's sumthin' to understand after all...roydop wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 4:01 pm1.

Fine. Lay it out for me.
2. The goal of the game is to find conclusion of the game (conclude Samsara), like a mystery to solve or a labyrinth to escape.
3. The path out of the delusion/labyrinth is through the shifting of focus of attention from outwardly facing (away from thoughts and sensations) to inwardly facing (Mauna: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauna_(silence).
bonus: Suffering and happiness are the guides. Following the path of Truth (the teaching) to the practice (Mauna/meditation) results in abidance in/as ones natural state, which is Absolute Happiness and Perfect Contentment.

You cannot talk about what has never been your experience. What you can never know.
