Abode of Pure Living

Abode of Pure Living

Life is a mansion with two stories; a basement and upper floor.

But we live only in the basement not knowing the other. It is the abode of hope and despair, pleasure and pain, sorrow and happiness. It is a maze of thoughts.

The other floor is the realm of pure living beyond thoughts and time.
No thought can touch it; no event can affect it. Living there is only in here and now.

One who has not discovered it, is a prisoner of the dark basement of life. His is a victim of his own thoughts.

He struggles for living but never really lives.

Discover the abode of pure living.
