Oh yes... the bad "mighty"... is that all what can be effort by advices toward a better?
Then go on, do the villagers way of discussing about philosophy their situations and how all would be better without being guided. Don't worry, actually both, wordily and beyond advices have nearly extinct in this world and defilements run their causes. By their majority you already have all the ways previous desired.
The old Krabat traumatic ... the liberation of defilement.
Go on as usual. Nobody, and at least Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha would force you to anything. Just think in how far it is of use to feed on what is rejected. Like a child should think twice before talking about their parents.
Cynicism is the lowest form of wit.
Not always, Nyom Binucolar, since a defiled mind would only act further, or release grasped, if it is provocated by what might seem to be out of greed, aversion or ignorance. Yet of course certain kind of belittling for the sake of belittling would be more then poor.
It's not about not wanting to be guided.
It's because people desire to be guided, don't let go of this kind of
giver (guṇa , goodness) , that makes it impossible to gain liberating guidance. It's a matter of debt and to whom/what. And the lack of effort of keeping certain promises and to feear of disadvantage
breaking up with other certain promises . Guided by Mara (the "guṇa") beings are bond. (It also might make the meaning of the "confusing part" at the end more clear.
It's about not wanting to be guided by people who despise those they guide.
Well, not having a little estimation for ones own defilements is necessary. If one finds them worthy to hold on, regards them as ones own, than there is less way. The resant talk
[En] Hold on for All you're worth, Bhante Thanissaro might be useful here. If one would belittle ones good deeds, tendency, and potential, that is of course an enemy. But since it is not easy to take real goodness and enemy in disguise of goodness right, as long as not reached certain level of right goodness by one self, it's difficult and often a guess or ones upanissaya of what is met. Again, also here, giving at first place, makes things quick much more clear. Giving into the right, one derives there. Nothing to fear.
It's possible worthy to make clear, that those actually able to guide toward liberation, do not have and desire to guide or for such as students. They might do it out of compassion in a either formal or informal relation, if wished. Or out of certain duty or graditude toward people/deeds of real goodness, if possible.
Can you tell the difference?
Can, could Nyom take it?
It's about not wanting to settle for a religious life of quiet desperation.
It's about not wanting to settle for a religious life of quiet desperation.
How could religion, as long the "re" is not simple recidivism of the same old story of "and the it goes back..." a desperation. Of course it's required that one old and hold religion (re-bondgage), which always leads to desperation, has to be given up first. It's, how ever, to re-ligion with ones old merits (results of past good deeds, ones old friend) if coming across and build on it, nurish such inwardly and outwardly for increading upanissaya (strong condition, relation). At least the re-ligion for liberation is not for the sake of re-ligion, but for liberation of at least also from this bond.
It's about not wanting to settle for a religious life of pretenses and going through the motions.
The/a pretenses is required, in the meaning of Vision, not real yet, and it's not possible to get a diploma is thinking "I just enter the school if I know all", eg. "being" before doing. Of course it whould be not good the pretenses something, but actually has other objectives, use it as means of livelihood, either cheating one self, others, or both. But again, the way (all ways) can not be walked without debts, e.g. certain imitation or what is called "rites and rituals" before they become naturally.
Hard to give up ones desires, hard to gain thereby release, since a master teaching the abounding of desires would require to actually desire for release.
It would really help if you'd work on your English, because the way you sometimes confuse words results in saying the opposite of what you probably intended.
My person guesses it has been explained, and not sure if it was primarily a language issue (the text may incl. still things which have been explained by Nyoms gift. My person didn't not "consume" it yet.)
In the spirit of this words, my person suggest Nyom to challenge
Vaṇṇa macchariya , makes proper use by sharing the given by so many, let good selfestimate not be only a required joy but also ones
governig principle and give others chance for proper same and identification by sharing her merits and brightness that comes from it. It's good if given Name and face is shared, in all aspects, and leave an old "religious life of pretenses and going through the motions" and foolish denying. Nyom @Morits , knowing its benefit good himself, might be also your good technical assistant in this regard. (A new "visitor 2" account is easy made, for one or another, wishing to make use, possible follow a left behind path like wise. That's the gift one walks forward, leaves behind, a track, gone by some with similar circumstances toward a vision, realized. E.g. ceratin faith that it is possible by human effort.)
