And so, that is a nice little tangle If I put this in the language Of oriental philosophy and religion It would be something like this The Buddha said that wisdom Must come only from the Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire The Buddha said that wisdom Must come only from the Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire One who abandons that desire attains nirvana Which is supreme peace liberation Nirvana means, in Sanskrit blow out That is, exhale the breath exhale the breath The opposite, dеsire, is to breathe in Now, if you brеathe in, and hold it You lose your breath But if you breathe out, it comes back to you It comes back to you The Buddha said that wisdom Must come only from the Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire The Buddha said that wisdom Must come only from the Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire So the principle here is if you want life Don't cling to it let go Let go But the problem is if I desire not to desire Is that not already desire? How can I desire not to desire? How can I surrender myself When myself is precisely an urge to hold on To cling? To cling to life, to continue to survive To survive to survive The Buddha said that wisdom Must come only from the Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire The Buddha said that wisdom Must come only from the Abandonment of selfish craving, or desire I can see rationally That by clinging to myself I may strangle myself I may be like a person who has a bad habit As a result of which he is committing suicide And he knows that but can't give it up Because the means of death are so sweet
