From another "Island "....(here and now, here and now ) remember this one ? ;-) we don't say grace before meals. We say it with meals. So....Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.'" He screwed up his face in an expression of disgust. "And yet," said Susila, "in a certain sense the advice is excellent. Eating, drinking, dying---three primary manifestations of the universal and impersonal life. Animals live that impersonal and universal life without knowing its nature. Ordinary people know its nature but don't live it and, if ever they think seriously about it, refuse to accept it. An enlightened person person knows it, lives it, and accepts it completely. He eats, he drinks, and in due course he dies---but he eats with a difference, drinks with a difference, dies with a difference." "And rises again from the dead?" he asked sarcastically. "That's one of the questions the Buddha always refused to answer. Believing in eternal life never helped anybody to live in eternity. Nor, of course, did disbelieving. So stop all your pro-ing and con-ing (that's the Buddha's advice) and get on with the job." "Which job?" "Everybody's job---enlightenment. Which means, here and now, the preliminary job of practicing all the yogas of increased awareness." From Aldous Huxely's " Island " island.org primenet.com
