Spiritual Consumerism And Materialism

We are being played, made fools of, tricked without realising it. It’s easy to fall for shortcuts to ‘heaven’ – “If you do this and this, you’ll get this.” Get what? 

There is a saying, “If you see the Buddha on the road, kill him.” This doesn’t mean literally kill him; it means the Buddha is not out there. Not this, not this. If you think how wonderful that person or system is, kill it. It’s not out there. It can’t be seen; the wonder is that which sees.

There is nothing to get or gain or get away from. We are already there/here – we only have to realise it. The cosmic (comic) joke is believing that we are more than we actually are.

We’ve already become more than we are! 😀

Spirituality is all about testing what is real, and definitely not about just accepting what others say. Don’t take the Buddha’s word for truth – so certainly don’t take a video’s words – or a
blog 🙂 – for truth … 

Stop panicking or picnicking or nitpicking on others’ words.
