When one ascends the mountain of self-mastery, claiming the enlightenment of a Buddha or the serenity of a Ramana Maharshi, what precisely has been achieved?
As a schizoid, you’ve pretty much described my life. I couldn’t care less about external validation. I revel in the void of indifference. I create my own values.
Self-overcoming is the tough part. Not because I need an audience to witness and applaud, but because I have neither passions nor motivations whatsoever. I can only rely on willpower and self-discipline.
I think that thr not-giving-a-f***ness is about the same thing Buddha was talking about. Namely, he stated that the source of all human suffering is desire. Only getting rid of it allows to achieve the enlightenment. How’s that?
I'm a Guru
A gnother Guru
I am enlightened
I have conquered my ego
So now it's true
I'm better than you
Why do you use *** instead of saying fuck ?
