Why suffer from being who we think we are? Why suffer from being who we know we are? Thinking and knowing are, and always will be, incomplete. They can only provide us with a useful but partial perspective of the absolute truth of reality. A tiny touch.
We develop a sense of individual self, as we think and know it. Yet the truth of reality is beyond the possibilities of personal thinking and knowing. The truth is simply too much for the limitations of human learning and knowledge.
Wisdom is here, there, everywhere. Wisdom is experienced and fully active in the now. Learn to unlearn. Know that you don't know. Be what you really are ... and forget the rest?
