तिमीले मेरो बारेमा कस्तो मिठो कुरा भन्यौ

सानो तिनो झगडाको बीच, तिमीले मेरो बारेमा कस्तो मिठो कुरा भन्यौ; तिमीले भन्यौ,  "तिमी कस्तो मान्छे हो भन्ने मैले पहिलेनै जानेको हो के " खैर,  मेरो आधा जिन्दगी "म को हुँ?" भन्ने खोज्दैमा बित्यो।  तैपनि , तिमीले मेरो बारेमा भनेको कुरा , न त म स्वीकार नै गर्न सक्छु, न त म इन्कार नै गर्न सक्छु।   (अध्यपान्त आफुलाइ आफैले जे भनेर चिनेको छ, त्येही होइन भनेर चिन्नु नै आफुलाई सहि रुपमा चिन्नु रहेछ। ) “Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment” – Lao Tzu

Aflame with the fire of passion, the fire of aversion, the fire of delusion. Aflame, I tell you, with birth, aging & death, with sorrows, lamentations, pains, distresses, & despairs. “The ear is aflame. Sounds are aflame… “The nose is aflame. Aromas are aflame… “The tongue is aflame. Flavors are aflame… “The body is aflame. Tactile sensations are aflame… “The intellect is aflame. Ideas are aflame. Intellect-consciousness is aflame.
