1.5 MONTHS LEFT BEFORE IM BACK HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
reached the half way point!!!!! I had no idea it was going to be this tough!!!!
down from 94 days to 47. :)
Can't wait to see you again babe.
Now now, for my very diverse audience, let me share a few words.
"The immeasurables were designed to pull down the barricades we erect between ourselves and others in order to protect the fragile ego."
The immeasurables are basically the emotion of love. Not a personal love, but an altruistic one that can be extended to every living thing in the world. So, by bringing out this altruistic feeling (and doing something else at the same time), people should be able to abandon their sense of Self, which can be considered as the primary cause for all one's suffering.
Why is it the primary cause? you might ask. Well, have you ever felt sad, angry, jealous, frustrated, uneasy, whatever? Well, it's your ego that's feeling all of that. What we call 'I'. But if one brings down the barricades that protect this sense of 'I', then the 'I' would just disappear and so would all the suffering.
Ok, so what's your point Sampath? umm. no point. just sharing some thoughts man!!!
Enjoy your day.
