You are a gentleman, sir.

@jamesallen,
Yeah that's obvious. Some people die with unsolved questions, actually the answer is with him, but the person don't know how to solve it! At the end it will become an untold story or unsolved "?" mark.
Great quote, I mean not only a quote a philosophy! Thanks for sharing!

We as humans seem to cling to the negative as it is something that is incessantly on our minds. We constantly dwell with no stop which drains our faculties. The best thing we can do is to stay modest and subdued, being eternal than intermittent
Humility and meekness, I think are undervalued.

Hi,
I think I am late to be here today, but it is good at anytime. Your posts are like a daily dose of wisdom.
All I can comprehend from the above excerpt is that becoming one with the infinite is more less like becoming one with the consciousness, the one consciousness that binds this whole universe and also dissects it. There is everything and there is nothing. Both are complimentary to each other.
These words are also inspired by my understanding of a book "Old Path White clouds" on the life of Buddha by Thich Nhat Hanh, which I read only once, and I wish to read again sometimes.
Have you read this?
No. I haven't read the book. I know that James Allen seems to have had some admiration for Buddha. He would refer to him as one of the 'Great Teachers'.
