    It is the mind alone which is the cause of all the objects in the world; the three worlds exist because of the mind-stuff. When mind vanishes the worlds vanish too.
    Sorry Drifter, but I totally disagree.

    If my mind vanishes or anyone elses, your mind and our universe is still truly here. Many minds have come and gone but the universe surely continues on. Mankind is but a leaf on a tree. Once we have fallin from the tree, the tree continues on. And once the the tree passes on, another is sure to come. That said the leaf as is us all are truly One with the tree which is truly One with the universe, and truly then: the leaf, the tree, ourselves, or the universe can never vanish or die. The Universe is infinite as is One as is All!

    The truth of everything is less than one inch,
    it is only equal and the lion is one.
    One is free when the door is opened,
    education has the key.

    One with the tree?
    The tree [body] 'passes on', as it were,
    the seed [mind of the infinite consciousness] reproduces.

    Even as atree is consumed by a forest fire, the youths heart is consumed by the fire of lust when his beloved leaves him. However much he may strive to develop purity of heart, the youth's heart is stained with impurity. Even when his beloved is not present mear him, he is distracted by the very thoughts of her beauty. Such a person who is full of cravings is naturally not held in high esteme with good men.
    Time alone wears everything out in this world, there is nothing in creation which is beyond its reach. Time alone creates innumerable universes, and in a very short time Time destroys everything. Time everpowers everything. Time is merciless, cruel, greedy and insatiable. It has an insatiable appetite for everything. or divided it is indestructable.

    No matter how much it is analysed

    Time is the greatest magician, full of deceptive tricks. [Whose mind is it, Zen koan: what is the sound of one hand clapping?]

    It is indeed this Time that that successfully creates and and dissolves the universe again and again. Time is established in the absolute being.
    Time, the gourmet, sees that the objects of this world have beenripened by the fire of the sun, and when he finds them fully ripe he consumes them! Each epoch of time is decked as it were, by the lovely jewels of colorful beings for the pleasure of Time that wipes them out playfully.

    re: The Quest for Deepest Truth of Human Existence.

    The deepest truth, we will never be alone. If we are all parts of the one serving our purpose. Reading our lines in the grand dream of things. Every player has their part, there are no solos, only duets and the chorus.
    "I act like you act, I do what you do, but I don’t know, what it’s like to be you. What consciousness is, I ain’t got a clue. I got the Zombie Blues!"

    Yes indeed

    Similarly, just as we eat the foods that spring forth from the earth, we share in the feasts of our own same self-
    eating from within and without and breathing in and out the same atoms.
