In the first place, why would one want to achieve such a thing as Mokhsa, Nirvana or whatever???
|
Because one is human. And being human dictates that one must understand.

Now, if oner has not achieved such a state, how does one know that there indeed is such a state??? By reading up books on Spirituality, or by observing the so-called realised!!! Then such a "wanting fot such a state" is also something that has been programmed in2 us by Sciety (thru all their Spiritual wish-wash)!!!!!!!
Hence, even wanting to achieve such a state is being part of the history of humankind!!!!

One will not know he has attained "such a state". Because to know is also based on our thoughts. There will be complete independence in thoughts and he will also be independent from knowledge. It is like being independent from oneself. Like body and soul become one, one single entity and not two combined. And hence that one is independent from both the body and the soul. This has been told by me. I mean I have not read any spiritual or philosophical books. Instinct is independent. Whereas when you are trying to understand, you compare it with your already existing knowledge which constitutes your past experiences. One does not put a banner on his chest proclaiming I have attained nirvana. Others say he has attained nirvana. You're indian so I guess you know the story of vishwamithra. In the beginning he does penance for a selfish desire but later he realizes his own self and forgets his object of penance and becomes a completely independent soul. And please don't take literary meanings for everything.

& why this need for having a common-ground? (here the need for a TOE is just a guise for the "need for having a common-ground?")

A need for common ground is not because I said it. It is the way it is.
