spoken like a true sage

freedom from desire means that the compulsion to satisfy is absent

liberation is to know that you are beyond birth and death

by forgetting who you are and imagining yourself a mortal creature, you created so much trouble for yourself that you have to wake up, like from a bad dream

the objective universe is in constant movement, projecting and dissolving innumerable forms... whenever a form is infused with life, consciousness appears by reflection of awareness in matter
