What Is The Point of Life?

Most civilized people are out of touch with reality, because they confuse the world as it is, with the world as they think about it. For there is the real world, and then there is the world of symbols about the real world, which we have in our minds.

The difference between ourselves, and all the rest of the universe is nothing more than an idea, a concept. It is not a real difference. Because reality is not a concept.

And meditation is the way in which we begin to feel our basic inseparability from the whole universe. And what that requires is that we become interiorly silent. And that opens the door to the discovery of the point of life.
