Yesterday Narain has commented “I wander if human being was individual?….” on my post "Double Edged Sword"
Deliberating on it Mind wanders…
Can a grain of Salt mixed with Sugar acquire the quality of sugar? Or vice a verse?
Is it possible to achieve the purity of the end result with a mixture of both? Can it be absolutely salty or sweet?
To achieve purity, the pollutant has to be removed….
Can an individual be called human without acquiring the quality of a human being ?
Can such mixture achieve the final goal of being a human or of the humanity? May it be Liberation, Nirvana or whatever one may call it.
To be a part of something one has to acquire the quality and characteristics of it. For which transformation is a pre-requisite?
And does not any transformation requires a discipline and process with patient and impartial observation?
To be human, it is essential that an individual transforms himself to be part of the Humanity.
Mind recalls H P Blavatsky….
“Thou shalt not separate thy being from BEING, and the rest, but merge the Ocean in the drop, the drop within the Ocean.”

Great post Sureshji. You are doing so very well.
You are doing well, and you should be proud.
strong post.
strong u.
and all so hard to do I hope you are STILL patting yourself on the back.
seriously.
when a mirror meets a mirror...one says," oh! i see my self in u!" and other says,"no! i see myself in u!!!"
we human beings are individuals yet we are not. PARADOX.
there were 3 strangers to each other who were to stay in a room for a day and everybody was told privately that other 2 are bad people...and when they were together everybody was looking to and thinking of each other almost in a similar way...then there came a 4th person to join them who was privately told that all three people inside are very good people...suddenly thinking pattern changed...wow!
As long as we have lables for us and others we can never be individuals...unfortunately this labeling is gone deep these days...
"The core of Krishnamurti's teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said 'Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organisation, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophical knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a fence of security - religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man's thinking, his relationships and his daily life. These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. This content is common to all humanity. The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he is not an individual.
