Get dressed in rags, do not bathe, let your teeth fall out of your mouth. Seek to be ugly, dirty and toothless. Here is the path of enlightenment. When you least think, any afternoon in any dirty and smelly corner, the truth will be revealed to you and you will wake up. You will realize that all this that we call reality is nothing more than a phantasmagorical vision, a fallacy, an illusion.
Senor Raul,
This whole post of yours is a beautiful gem. It is said that true holy men are not to be found in temples and churches but in dense forests living in solitude.
Over here, particularly, till the generation before mine ,in the orthodox hindu families the wife used to address the husband by saying "father of ( the name of the son/daughter)".
Yes, we define things in respect to something else.Where is Paraguay? South of Bolivia.
The real question is-what is the thing in itself?
