BODHAYANTI PARASPARAM – VOL 3
The groups thus formed avoid others who do not fit their standards and statuses. This is exemplified in our society where people identify with their education, cars, economic status, beauty or lack of it, property, prestige, politics, religion and spirituality, so on and so forth, without end. Obviously these things cannot be who we are because they came from outside and also are transient. To identify with that which we are not is to welcome suffering that cannot be avoided. Sooner or later it will manifest unless we avoid trying to identifying with them.
It seems that, without at least an inkling of this recognition of the coming and going of events, inquiry into truth or Reality is impossible. It is possible certain times that some event in life which disrupts us badly and which should be recognized as travail is treated as trivial. But, the old habit of not recognizing the transitory nature of events and things begins again and unless this recognition of the coming and going of experience becomes unshakably clear, it will continue until death, robbing us of our living freedom.
