    It is a matter of which is to be master! I do not deny pain. Bliss is simply more desirable :D

    As opposed to letting go of consciousness and drifting downstream?

    I suppose there are many who need to learn how to give up, who must give their lives to learning how. I'm not one of them. Is it defeat that you must learn to prepare for?

    na prahrsyet priyam prapya
    nodvijet prapya capriyam
    sthira-buddhir asammudho
    brahma-vid brahmani sthitah

    A person who neither rejoices upon achieving something pleasant nor laments upon obtaining something unpleasant, who is self-intelligent, unbewildered, and who knows the science of God, is to be understood as already situated in Transcendence.

    ye hi samsparsa-ja bhoga
    duhkha-yonaya eva te
    ady-antavantah kaunteya
    na tesu ramate budhah

    An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kunti, such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.

    Hare Krsna :)

    I unlearnt all such 'wise' sayings before hearing them. Sickly ascetic virtue is no more.

    I don't want to know a person who does not rejoice in something pleasant! :D

    I am the enemy of all poisoners of the senses!

    You dont want to know somebody like this?
    I think you do not understand.
    This kind of person is always happy, for they
    delight in the eternal pleasures of the Self.
    Do not think I am referring to some people
    who are always neautral.

    I think this is much better! It sounds like a different person! I always want to know people who delight in themselves.

    Well, I must admit, you are pretty funny.

    Themselves is the ego.

    Im referring to the Self, the Soul, the
    eternal pleasures of Divine Love, acceptance
    for all beings as equal, loving kindness,
    one who never lies, cheats, or steals.

    I know you understand and are trying to
    be funny.
    We should laugh life away, because it matters not.

    All beings are equal only in death. The ego is self-conception. If you deny it, I will destroy you.

    :D
