Me too, Sanchez.

Knows how little he knows

Funny how quotes stick in my mind but I don't know where they come from... is it somewhere in the bible?... " I tell you of a truth, and I can tell no lie..."

Accountable for every thought as well as action, one has only truth... and knows only of a truth (in my mind... and I cannot lie

)

Ego Tripping · 11-23-2005, 02:09 PM

I know everything.

Same as nothing.

Same as everything though.

Problem is any absolute Truth is Paradox and is beyond any words, can only be purely emotionally understood, there is no other way. Thus, all words are false.

haha.

this thread makes me think of platos cave... takes time to adjust eyesight to both the shadows and the light.

first time i heard it i didnt like the "He who speaks does not know. He who knows does not speak." quote either. now tho, when i read it or w/e, i just read it as "He who sits does not walk. He who walks does not sit." and ive always liked activity.

slow down and balance. it's not rocket science man. if you can maintain your shit (a bit doubtful at 13...i mean no offense but thats just life and maturity) then keep doing what you want. if not, adjust accordingly.

From the Dhammapada

Chapter 6, The Wise One

76. Should one find a man who points out faults and who reproves, let him follow such a wise and sagacious person as one would a guide to hidden treasure. It is always better, and never worse, to cultivate such an association.

77. Let him admonish, instruct and shield one from wrong; he, indeed, is dear to the good and detestable to the evil.

78. Do not associate with evil companions; do not seek the fellowship of the vile. Associate with the good friends; seek the fellowship of noble men.

79. He who drinks deep the Dhamma lives happily with a tranquil mind. The wise man ever delights in the Dhamma made known by the Noble One (the Buddha).

80. Irrigators regulate the rivers; fletchers straighten the arrow shaft; carpenters shape the wood; the wise control themselves.

81. Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

82. On hearing the Teachings, the wise become perfectly purified, like a lake deep, clear and still.

83. The good renounce (attachment for) everything. The virtuous do not prattle with a yearning for pleasures. The wise show no elation or depression when touched by happiness or sorrow.

84. He is indeed virtuous, wise, and righteous who neither for his own sake nor for the sake of another (does any wrong), who does not crave for sons, wealth, or kingdom, and does not desire success by unjust means.

85. Few among men are those who cross to the farther shore. The rest, the bulk of men, only run up and down the hither bank.

86. But those who act according to the perfectly taught Dhamma will cross the realm of Death, so difficult to cross.

87-88. Abandoning the dark way, let the wise man cultivate the bright path. Having gone from home to homelessness, let him yearn for that delight in detachment, so difficult to enjoy. Giving up sensual pleasures, with no attachment, let the wise man cleanse himself of defilements of the mind.

89. Those whose minds have reached full excellence in the factors of enlightenment, who, having renounced acquisitiveness, rejoice in not clinging to things — rid of cankers, glowing with wisdom, they have attained Nibbana in this very life. [10]
