Day 12: Giriraj Dandavat Parikrama Musings

  • the way up is down; falling (like stick) upward (to the homeland of the soul)
  • To be or not to be is indeed the question! A deeply spiritual one. Turns out this statement of Shakespeare through the voice of Hamlet is about suicide!
  • One of the unique faculties of human existence is we can choose death and even choose how we want to die (extenuating circumstances notwithstanding). To gain a (divine) life, we must loose a (egocentric) life. Egocide! Choosing (metaphysical) death over (mundane) life, so that (divine) life my triumph over (samsaric) death!
  • Another one of those strange paradoxes of the spirit world.
  • death and life is a paradox most of humanity hasn’t figured out. Die to live! This held me today, a little less resistant than yesterday and a little more hopeful. Down I go!
