Very curious I was born and lived in this kind of Island to which one of the questioner refers for the first 36 years of my life That was the Island of Cuba where all religión education had been wiped out since 1959 For mi Hinduism and Buddhism ware exotic words in which some very “primitive Anti scientific people very far away”were still believing The word Advaita Vedanta was totally unknown to me. For me the purpose of life was to study and to get a career that would allow me to buy some good goods and beers to enjoy during the week ends. Thanks God suffering hit me very hard little by little until at present with 67 years of age I can’t sleep a single night without reading viewing or meditating something about Advaita Vedanta Spirituality or non Dualism For me The videos with the teachings of Swami Sarvapriyananda are one of the greatest blessings for our present day humanity

Here is the exact quote from William Styron’s book, “Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness:” “I had now reached that phase of the disorder where all sense of hope had vanished, along with the idea of a futurity; my brain...had become less an organ of thought than a instrument for registering, minute by minute, varying degrees of its own suffering. (page 58) And [I experienced]...a curious inner convulsion that I can describe only as a despair beyond despair. It came out of the cold night; I did not think such anguish possible.” (page 64)

My memory of what Styron wrote is that he reached a place so dark that even thought did not exist. It was then that he considered suicide. It was a long period of darkness (thought?) he went through culminating in a moment or so of utter void...not just the train wreck of a long period of reckless or negative thinking. Some suicides seem the result of the absence of thought PLUS the absence of any sense of Being.
@Acode7940
2 жыл бұрын
@@spiritualseeker. From my point of view, since I cannot state absolutely for sure he experienced absence of thought (I just really believe thought was not involved at those moments), we could use another metaphor and state that, looked at from the point of view of the time/space/causation universe(s), there is a point "when" God is incarnating as a human in which "he" loses his sense of self (Being) but has not yet taken on the instrument through which he experiences himself as a human--the sense organs/mind. All humans have this point in the background of their journey into humanness, but only a very small portion of them ever experience it. We experience Either/Or and Styron experienced Neither;/Nor-- a terrible experience. This is the model I have for clinical depression . There are, of course, other reasons people have for committing suicide. Blessings.

The reason I comment on Styron is that when people speak of suicides as the result of some form only of negative thinking, they trivialize suicide and what led to it. We all know depression; we do not all know clinical depression such as Styron went through. Clinical depression is a different animal than want or lack thoughts. It is of a different magnitude. I don't remember Styron wondering later why he even thought of suicide. The reason he wrote the book was to try to make available to others the intensely dark and void territory that is clinical depression.

@@Greengate777 - very good point. Totally agree with you. When I dont have any clue, questions like "what do i tell my 11 year old son about God" makes little sense. One pointer - "live without raga and dwesha - desire or hatred" - for anything. When these two aspects of the mind are mastered, then truth dawns. Is this practical for day to day life? If the answer is "No - I do not intend to give up pleasure", then the next suggestion may be "OK - enjoy it, try to chant the name of God you like" or some such. Depending on how attached we are to the body and mind, and how much mumukshutva (desire for liberation) we have, many such practical answers are there, which can incrementally take us to the divine.

@@Greengate777 - World is in transactional reality or vyavaharika. Brahman is in paramartika or absolute reality. World's problems - the ones you are pointing to - you deal at vyavaharika level - not by seeing Brahman in drunken eyes etc. The two realities will not get mixed - when you are a supreme being like Jesus or Ramana Mahirishi, then you may even take the beating - but otherwise you will act and react normally What will be different is the balanced calm compassionate approach towards any challenge, the courage to face it and solve it. It is the karma yoga aspect of life - dealing with daily actions. Advaita vedanta though is primarily jnana yoga - which is about self enquiry or finding the truth of the real nature of one's self. As a note, the other 3 yogas - karma bhakti raja yoga - also help towards enlightenment.
