Understanding Misunderstanding & Misunderstanding Understanding
When we realise that the world (people) is crazy, everything makes sense. This isn’t some cute saying on a t-shirt; it’s the Buddha’s teaching. Pure consciousness sees that we are governed by our mind’s likes, dislikes and indifferences, which we think is our reality but which causes us suffering. When we see this misunderstanding, we understand and are free … until we forget again. 🙂
If we justify our likes, dislikes and indifferences, we are misunderstanding our understanding.
It is the seeing, and not what is seen, that is the reality.
If we think that we understand this, it’s merely a concept.
Understanding is the silent realisation of how the craziness was formed.
Crazy: late 16th century,in sense of ‘full of cracks’.
