Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Purity
Finally, in the end:
(from the Heart Sutra)
form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form ;
emptiness does not differ from form, form does not differ from emptiness, whatever is emptiness, that is form,
the same is true of feelings, perceptions, impulses, and consciousness.
Along those lines I once read that engineers are just sloppy physicists, and that physicists are just sloppy mathematicians.
These ideas lead to the story of a person of each discipline giving examples of what numbers are prime to a layman.
The mathematician said 1 is prime, 2 is prime, 3 is prime, but 4 is not. Get the idea?
When a physicist was asked, he said 1 is prime, 2 is prime, 3 is prime, hmmm . All numbers are prime to a first approximation.
When an engineer was asked for examples, he said let's see, 1 is prime, 1 is prime, 3 is prime, 4 is prime ...
"The reason evil always fails is that, after a short while, no one is pure enough.
If evil is based upon loyalty, and loyalty becomes the ruler, some will be found not loyal enough.
If evil is based upon greed, and greed becomes the ruler, some will be found not greedy enough.
If evil is based upon cruelty, and cruelty becomes the ruler, some will be found not cruel enough.
If evil is based upon religion, and religion becomes the ruler, some will be judged not religious enough.
If evil is based upon bigotry, and bigotry becomes the ruler, some will be judged not bigoted enough.
And on it goes, to the deepest depth of absurdity itself.
That's why humanity and compassion prevail, as they’re what save us, in eternal and overwhelming abundance."SearingTruth
