States of Mind.

The ideal state of mind, is when one experiences nothing. We feel that happiness is good, and unhappiness is bad. But those who have identified happiness, have identified unhappiness, too. There is no man who has not identified unhappiness either in himself, or in an other. The Buddha, also known as Prince Gautama, during a period of his life, knew death, even though he had never experienced it. As soon as he saw a corpse, he identified it in his mind, as a state of something, even though he had not seen a corpse before. Hence, the best way to experience God, is to have no experience. Why then, does a being, for example a human being experience? A human being is never far away from God. A human is nearest to God, even more than he is to himself. A human soul experiences because it wants to experience, because it wants to put a value to its feelings towards God. Or in other words, it wants to be extremely specific, when it wants to identify God. What it does nor realize is that the most specific experience of God, is no experience. Why does a man, again want to realize God? It is just God's will, that he does, so that he may experience God, and not want, due to want of happiness, to experience God any more, and go back to the state of non experience. Whatever has to be experienced in Heaven, we experience on Earth. Why then, do we wait to go to Heaven to appreciate it? When I see a joyful child, or a lady, or a saint,(for only a man can really appreciate another, who is a saint), I believe, God has shown me all the good in creation, which is very close to God.
