Immortality

Immortality. What exactly is immortality? Is it an endless number of years in time? What is time for an immortal? Can the mortal mind ever grasp the concept of immortality? The immortal is not something that the mortal mind can fathom, just like infinity. For that which is truly immortal, cannot take birth. And activities and pursuits and knowledge and boredom lose all meaning in the face of immortality.

The only skill

There is only one skill that is really needed to have a trouble free life. And that is to learn to control the mind. An uncontrolled mind is the root of all trouble and suffering. A controlled mind is the bestower of bliss and peace, no matter the circumstances.

So, learn only to slow down the mind and all auspiciousness is yours. This is true power.

Suffering

Suffering is the blessing that leads to realization of truth.
