We're four grown adult men, you'd think we'd figure out a system here after about an hour or so. None of us have said, hey, I'll take right, you take right, I take front, you take back. It's just - we just bang bang bang bang bang - Bdubs

Sin is a Mistake Only
By Swami Sivananda
The ignorant man only says: "I am a great sinner." This is a serious mistake. Never for a moment think that you are a sinner. You are the most holy one. You are the ever-pure Atman. Sin can not touch you. You are above vice and virtue, Dharma and Adharma. Punya and Papa are mental creations only. Sins are mistakes only. An ignorant Jiva commits these mistakes during the course of his journey in this world on account of Avidya or ignorance. Through mistakes, he gains experiences and marches forward in his path of spirituality. Every mistake is your best teacher. One has to evolve through sins and mistakes. These mistakes are inevitable. Some people become prey to thoughts of sin. They ever brood: "We are great sinners. We have committed many crimes." This is a great blunder.
Whenever thoughts of this nature worry you, you should think: 'I am doing Japa of Om. This will burn all old sinful actions. This will purify my mind. I am doing Tapas, fasting and charity. These are all great purifiers. I am becoming purer and purer. Nothing can affect me now. I am like the effulgent fire. I have become a holy person.' Assert, whenever such negative thoughts of sin trouble you: 'I am the Nitya Suddha, ever-pure Atman.'
Hear the words of assurance of Lord Krishna in the Gita: "Even if thou art the most sinful of all sinners, yet shall thou cross over all sin by the raft of wisdom. As the burning fire reduces fuel to ashes, O Arjuna, so doth the fire of wisdom reduce all action to ashes. Verily, there is no purifier in this world like wisdom; he that is perfected in Yoga finds it in the Self in due season." Ch. IV-36, 37, 38.
"Even if the most sinful worships Me with undivided heart, he too must be accounted righteous, for he hath rightly resolved. Speedily, he becometh dutiful, and goeth to eternal peace. O Kaunteya, know thou for certain that My devotee perisheth never. They who take refuge in Me, O Partha, though of the womb of sin, women, Vaishyas, even Sudras, they also tread the highest path. How much more easily, then, the holy Brahmins and devoted royal saints (attain the goal); having obtained this impermanent and unhappy world, do thou worship Me. Fix thy mind on Me, be devoted to Me, sacrifice unto Me, bow down to Me, having thus united thy whole self in Me, taking Me as the supreme goal, thou shalt come to Me." Ch. IX-30
Etymological associations around the words duality & firm knowledge part 2
Notes continued:
Gnosis or Jnana is the state of firm knowledge, that is the tree, the axis or fulcrum of Divine law & right, that holds the world upright— around which the wheel of time turns.
On the low point of the circadian period, we die into gnosis, the centre/void of Night, & return with our gnosis— into the waking state— the waxing half the wheel of existence (diurnal).
The ever-present origin or centre, is also the Spirit, or shining/radiating ray, or deity or daemon, like the dryad is the Spirit of the Oak-tree, it is the being of true knowledge, within the tree or phenomenon.
The dew/tau is the flowing, the fountain that originates in the rose/skull/centre/zero/void. The Rose Tau, the Egyptian portal (deru/door), between the lands of the living & the dead.
The waking day-time state is the already dying, & to enter the void of eternity, through mouth of the cave, & the Night of dreamless sleep or death, is to gain gnosis, that state that is firm & true knowledge of Divine Nature.
today I am dying laughing at this vid ft. a wasted bdubs and a very goofy etho. origin of "accordion of time"
The Quest for Buddhism (76)
Four Noble Truths - The first Dhamma wheel turned・Part2 (1. Duhkha)
2) Samudaya
Samudaya satya is the 2nd of the Four Noble Truths (Ref) , and it is the concept that the cause of suffering is the love attachment.
It is the truth that the endlessness of desire gives rise to suffering, that is, the truth that 'suffering has a cause'. The truth of the arising of suffering. It refers to the source of suffering, the Kleshas (worldly desires) that cause the manifestation of suffering, and is therefore also called "duhkha samadhya satya" The word 'samudaya' means 'to invite and collect', and it is said that the things that invite and collect suffering are the worldly desires.
Specifically, it refers to the mind's defilements such as greed, anger and complaining, and its root, craving (Skt. trishna). These are the impulsive emotions that lead to the unceasing pursuit of desires.
In Buddhism, the 12 links of conditioned arising (Skt. Pratityasamutpada Ref2) show and represent the structure of the causes of suffering. It shows the twelve causes of suffering and their edges. Suffering is a system of the 12 causes (Ref3 &Ref4), and when the 12 are gathered together, the whole of it is suffering. Therefore, both avidya and craving are the root causes of suffering, and are the "duhkha samadhya satya" (suffering and collection).
仏教の探求 (76)
四諦 (したい、梵: ﾁｬﾄｩﾙ･ｱｰﾘﾔ･ｻﾃｨﾔ) 〜 最初に回されたダンマの輪・その2（①苦諦）
②集諦 (じったい)
集諦 (じったい、梵: ｻﾑﾀﾞﾔ･ｻﾃｨﾔ)とは、四諦 (したい、梵: ﾁｬﾄｩﾙ･ｱｰﾘﾔ･ｻﾃｨﾔ 参照)の第二であり、苦の原因は愛執の念であるという概念である。
それは、欲望の尽きないことが苦を生起させているという真理、つまり「苦には原因がある」という真理。苦しみの生起の真理。苦しみの源、苦しみを現出させる煩悩（梵:ｸﾚｰｼｬ）を指すので、苦集諦 (くじゅうたい、梵: ﾄﾞｩｯｶ･ｻﾑﾀﾞﾔ･ｻﾃｨﾔ)ともいわれる。集 (じゅう、梵: ｻﾑﾀﾞﾔ)とは「招き集める」という意味で、苦を招き集めるものは煩悩であるとされる。
具体的には貪欲や瞋恚（しんに）、愚痴などの心のけがれをいい、その根本である渇愛（かつあい, トリシュナー）をいう。これらは、欲望を求めてやまない衝動的感情をいう。
仏教において苦の原因の構造を示して表しているのは、十二縁起（参照2）である。十二縁起とは、苦しみの12の原因（参照3＆参照4））とその縁を示している。苦は12の原因のシステムであって、12個集まってそれ全体が苦なのである。だから、無明(むみょう)も渇愛(かつあい)も、苦しみの根本原因であり、苦集諦(くじゅうたい)である。
The Unfathomable Brahman
Exploring the Indivisible Reality from Multiple PerspectivesThe quest to understand Brahman is a journey into the heart of existence itself, a pursuit that has intrigued philosophers, sages, and seekers for millennia. In the vast expanse of Hindu philosophy, Brahman is the ultimate reality, the fabric of all that exists and beyond. It is both immanent and transcendent, the core of our being and…
