ʻO mākou aʻaʻole paha mākou i hui pū me ka atma buddhi?

ʻAʻole mākou. He laulā ka nīnau a pili ʻole, ae lawe ʻia no mākou ʻike i nā kumu āpau i hoʻokumu ʻia ai. ʻO nā mea i like andma a me buddhi kahi i "ʻo mākou" a "ʻaʻole" ʻaʻole i hui pū. "A laila ua nīnau ʻia ka nīnau mai ka ʻaoʻao theosophical. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Atma, ʻo ia ka ʻuhane maʻamau e hoʻomākeʻe i nā mea āpau. ʻO ka mea i manaʻo ʻia ʻo Buddhhi ka ʻuhane uhane, ke kaʻa o ka atma, a ma ia mea e hana ai ka atma. "ʻO mākou" ua ʻōlelo ʻia he mau manaʻo pilikino. "Union" kahi aupuni i hui pū ʻia a hui pū ʻia ai paha kekahi me kekahi. Atma ka ʻānela ʻike kuʻāina a kā buddhi i kāna kaʻa, ua hui mau. No ka mea ke hana pololei nei lākou i nā manawa āpau a ʻike ka buddhi i ka atma a hui ʻia nā ʻelua. No laila, ʻōlelo ʻia lākou he hui hui like ʻia e ka poʻe holoʻokoʻa. No ka mea no ka hui ʻana o ka hui me atma-buddhi, pono wau e ʻike e like me aʻu e ʻike ai ʻo wai iaʻu; pono e hoʻomaopopo pono i kona kū ponoʻī a me ke ʻano a pono hoʻi e hoʻomaopopo i ka buddhi a atma, a pono hoʻi e hoʻomaopopo ʻoiai ʻo ia kekahi kanaka i hui pū ʻia, hui pū ʻia me ke ao holoʻokoʻa a me ka atma. Ke kamaʻāina nei wau i ke ʻano o ia ʻike a ʻike wau i ka hui me ka atma me ke kanaka a me ka buddhi, a laila hiki ʻole i kēlā kanaka ke ʻōlelo pololei he "hui pū me ka atma a me ka buddhi." Ma laila, ʻaʻohe kuhihewa e kēlā ka mea like me ka mea a atma a me mākou, a ʻo ka hui kekahi, no ka mea e ʻike kēlā kanaka a ʻike ka ʻike. I ke ʻano o kēia kanaka, ʻaʻole "ʻike" ʻo wai mākou. Inā ʻaʻole kākou ʻike maopopo ʻo wai "mākou", ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike i ka mea a wai a buddhi a atma; a ina aole kakou maopopo i ko kakou ano a ike ole ia i ko ke ao nei, aole like kakou me he mau mea noonoo ponoi nei i hui pu ai me na olelo kuikona o ka atma a me ka buddhi. Hoʻopili kahi ʻākoakoa, a ma ia ʻāina mokulele e pili ana i ka mea hui. ʻAʻole hiki i ka noʻonoʻo maoli ke haʻi nei i ka hui pū ʻana a hui pū ai me kekahi mea ʻē aʻe i ʻike ʻole ʻia, ʻoiai paha kekahi mea ʻē aʻe me ia. ʻAmaʻai a me ka buddhi me ke kanaka i nā manawa a pau akā ʻaʻole ke kanaka e like me ka manaʻo ʻole ke ʻike a ʻike ʻole i ka atma a me ka buddhi ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa No ka mea, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻike ma ke ao a no ka mea ʻike ʻole ʻo ia i kāna ʻano pilikino, no laila, ʻo ia, ke kanaka, me ka noʻonoʻo e pili pū ana i ka atma-buddhi.

ʻAʻole aneiʻo ia ka mea a pau e hiki iā kākou ke lilo i loko o kākou aʻo ka mea wale nō e pono ai ke hana,ʻo ia ka hoʻomaopopo?

ʻO ka mea maʻamau, heʻoiaʻiʻo maoli nō ia, a ʻo ka mea a mākou e hana mua ai e hana i mea e ʻike mua ai i nā mea a pau i loko o mākou. He lawa kēia no kēia. No laila, ʻia paha, e ʻike kākou i nā mea āpau ma waho o kā mākou a laila e ʻike i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka mea āpau a me ko kēlā mea iā mākou.

ʻO ka nīnau e like me ka ʻōlelo e hoʻonaninani ai a me ka maʻalahi e like me ka ʻoi a me ke anuanu i ke kauwela — a he ʻano ʻole ʻole ʻole. Inā ʻoluʻolu nā kānaka iā ia iho i ka nīnau a me ka pane "ʻae" a i ʻole ka pane me ka ʻole e like me ka nīnau, he liʻiliʻi ka mea e loaʻa mai i kahi agriculturist e hoʻopili ana iā ia iho me ka manaʻo ua mālama ʻo ia i kahi ma kāna wahi. E kāohi i nā hua a pau o nā mea āpau. ʻO ka mea ʻike a manaʻo ʻole lā paha kāna hana ma kāna mea i hiki ai ke lilo a ʻike paha, a ʻaʻole hoʻi ʻo ka mea i lilo kahi mea āna i ʻike ai, ua ʻoi aku kāna hewa, a ʻoi aku ke aloha aʻe ma mua o ka mea ʻaʻole kīnā. me nā manaʻo haʻahaʻa akā ʻo ka ʻimi e hoʻomaikaʻi i kona kūlana kino i kēia manawa. I nā ʻāina Hikina he mea maʻamau ka lohe ʻana i nā poʻe hoʻōla ʻōlelo i kā lākou ʻōlelo: "ʻO wau ke Akua"! ʻO wau nō ke Akua. ʻO wau nō ke Akua. me ka hōʻoia maʻalahi a me ka hilinaʻi. Akā naʻe lākou? He mau akua noi kēia mau akua ma nā alanui a ʻike lākou i ka mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka lawa e hoʻopaʻa ai i ka manaʻo; a i aʻo paha ʻia paha lākou a hiki i loko o nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa lōʻihi e kākoʻo ai i kā lākou kuleana. Akā ʻo kekahi o nā mea e hana i ka hoʻopiʻi e hōʻike i nā hōʻike i ko lākou ola a me nā hana a lākou maopopo a he kuleana iā ia. Ua lawe mai mākou i kēia mau hōʻoia me nā ʻano like ʻole o kēia mau leʻa a ke loaʻa hou nei nā moku i loko o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Aka inā he akua lākou, he makemake paha ʻoe e akua?

He mea pono no ke kanaka ke manaʻoʻiʻo i nā mea a pau i hiki iā ia; aka he hoopunipuni nana iaia ke hoao ana iaia nana i hiki ke loaa i kana oea i hiki ai i kahi hiki. ʻO ke kūlima i loko o kāna ʻoihana, ʻo ka mea pena i kona hikiwawe, ka mea ʻolima ma kāna marmer, a i ʻole ka mea mahiʻai i kāna mau mahiʻai, he ʻoi aku nā akua like ʻole ma mua o ka poʻe e hele wāwae a hewa ʻole a hōʻoia ma ke ʻano he akua lākou, no ka mea o loko ka lani i loko. aku lākou. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia: "ʻO wau nō ka microcosm o macrocosm." ʻ Truelelo pololei a maikaʻi. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi ma ka hana ma mua.

ʻO ka ʻike a ʻaʻole hoʻi e manaʻoʻiʻo i kahi mea, ʻo ia ka hana mua i ka loaʻa ʻana o ia mea. Akā e manaʻoʻiʻo he mea ʻole ka mea a ʻaʻole hoʻi e manaʻoʻiʻo nei kahi mea. Inā mākou manaʻo e hiki i nā mea āpau i lilo i loko o mākou i loko, ua maopopo ia mākou kahi manaʻoʻiʻo. ʻAʻole kēlā ʻike i nā mea iā mākou. E ʻike kākou i nā mea a mākou e manaʻoʻiʻo ai e hoʻomaopopo i ia mau mea a me ka hana ʻana iā lākou. E alakaʻi ʻia e ko mākou kumu a e like me kā mākou hana e ʻike mākou i nā mea i loko o mākou a e loaʻa a ʻike i ko mākou mau manaʻo. Ma kāna hana e lawe ai ka mea maʻi i ka mea e hana nei ʻo ia no nā ʻano. Hoʻonui ka mea paʻi kiʻi i ka mea kūpono loa i kona manaʻo. Hoʻokumu ke kanaka hoʻolaha i ke kiʻi ma kāna manaʻo e kū i waho o ka marmer. Hoʻokumu ka mea mahiʻai i kēlā mau mea e ulu i nā hua. Loaʻa i kēlā kanaka nā mea a pau i loko ona he manaʻo kapu. ʻO kēia manaʻo ka hua kūpono o ke akua. Ua hoʻowahāwahā ʻia, ua ʻakaʻaka ʻia kēia manaʻo akua i ka wā e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ana e like me ka maʻalahi. Ke pau ia i ka nuhilihi ʻana e ka haki ʻana i ka waha, like me kahi hua i lulu ʻia ma luna o ka ʻāina hoʻopulapula, ʻaʻole e oʻa i ka aʻa. ʻO ka mea ʻike i ka waiwai a me ka makemake e kanu i ka hua, ʻaʻole ia e hoka, akā, e hoʻokau ia i ka ʻāina kūpono a hānai e mālama a mālama i ka mea i ulu mai ka hua. ʻO ka mea e ʻōlelo mau nei iā ia he laʻa, ʻo ia nō ka microcosm o macrocosm, ʻo ia ʻo Mithra, Brahm, a i ʻole he akua ʻano ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ke ʻike nei a puhi pū ana i ka hua āna i loaʻa ai a ʻaʻole paha paha i ka mea nona ka punahele hua kanu a me ke ulu a ulu. ʻO ka mea nāna e manaʻo he hui ʻo Noa a ʻoluʻolu e ʻike nei i ka paia, paʻa a mālama i ka manaʻo. Ma ka hana ʻana a hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kāna mau manaʻo a me ka hana e like me kona manaʻoʻiʻo, hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā kūlana i loko a i mea e ulu maoli ai ka naʻauao a me ka hoʻāno. A laila e ʻike maʻalahi ʻo ia aia nā mea āpau i loko ona a hoʻomaka koke ʻo ia i nā mea āpau.
