The Sage.

The Reality and The man.

--------------------_©_--------------------

(continued from the last post)

Thus a few of those remembered that essential Reality of man, where-from arrived this sense of individuality as a 'person', limited to this body and its form, feelings, experiences, conditioning, memory, etc.

Sages however saw, how even after descending from that essential nature / truth of the Self, that is in fact an indivisible whole, one is never other than that.

"Seyen und Sagen" sagt Der Sage.

When he told others about this Reality, some could understand, follow and discover the same in their own being, while most just ignored him or didn't even give a glance or attention over his words.

Some thought :

The Sage might be speaking about some God, Who is the Creator, Who sustains and preserves His Creation and finally annihilates / withdraws the same unto Himself.

So this God too seems a late-comer to 'I'.

Then the notion :

"God is All"

came into existence.

The man misunderstood this word 'All' to be His very name itself! Others a few clinched the hint and could see what the name pointed out to!

Man in this way has been running from the pillar to the post desparetely anxious and restless.
