This happens to everyone when, through a single thought, they let the Buddha-mind slip away from them. So you can see that it’s a very serious matter indeed. Therefore, you must thoroughly understand about not transforming the Buddha-mind into other things. As I told you before, not a single one of you in attendance here today is an unenlightened person. You’re a gathering of unborn Buddha-minds. If anyone thinks, “No, I’m not. I’m not enlightened,” I want him to step forward. Tell me: What is it that makes a person unenlightened?

schopenhauer-

"Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude." a They gather the bones in a pile. Light the fire, and after a while, Smoke rises high into the sky. Then, what is left the earth digests, And all the while......... God smiles. Soul once more is homeward bound. Life seems no more than a day. When time is so illusive, It just slowly slips away. The ash that fell is all that’s left, Of the rich, or poor mans, final rest. While death demands retribution, It comes as the only solution. Where is the ego that left the soul? Gone to fill a future role. A

“Just stay as you are, right in the Buddha-mind, and don’t change it into anything else. If you do that, illusions don’t occur and you live constantly in the unborn mind.”

By phenomenal consciousness, Block did indeed mean the experience of sensations with phenomenal properties, or qualia; but he contended that qualia are walled off from the rest of the mind and play no part in guiding thought, speech, or action. Yet, to me, this never made much sense. Block was arguing in effect against the unity of consciousness: that the You who is the subject of qualia is a different You from the You who is the subject of all your other mental states. Not only is this counter-intuitive, but it also misses the point about what really make qualia distinctive: it's not their mode of access but their content—what they are like.

 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3 Verse 9

Work done as a sacrifice for Vishnu has to be performed, otherwise work causes bondage in this material world. Therefore, O son of Kunti, perform your prescribed duties for His satisfaction, and in that way you will always remain free from bondage.
