Dear all, Some of you may wonder what is wrong with Pink Jerry. Life is not about doom and gloom. Pleasant and joyous thoughts and feelings bring colour to life and take away the mundane. White Jerry or intellectual knowledge is also necessary for the growth of human civilisation. We must have faith in the divine, and Clear Jerry gives us hope and something to hold on to. What’s wrong with having those Jerry? |
There is nothing wrong with having Pink and White Jerry at all. They are, in fact, the source of inspiration and creations, which is much needed in human progress. The problem is not thoughts themselves but our attachment to them which leads to mental pain. The universe is dynamic by nature and constantly changing. Nothing stays still, things come and go, including our thoughts and feelings, or Jerry. The risk in having Pink Jerry is the potential for attachment to them, an unwillingness to let go due to its beauty and joy. When the law of change catches up, causing the Pink Jerry to be shattered, such as losing a baby, wealth or fame, one can imagine the pain one must endure. White Jerry are innately neutral but there’s a risk in them giving a person an inflated ego and overconfidence, which causes further conflicts, arguments and even wars. As for Clear Jerry, such as ‘my God is better than your God, this is the only way’, has always been the reason for a holy wars, even today. Some things never change! This explains why we cannot attach to any type of Jerry. We all know nail biting is a harmful physical habit. Attachment to all kinds of Jerry, a bad mental habit, is similar to biting your nails. Detaching from Black Jerry and attaching to Pink, White, or Clear Jerry is like stopping biting one fingernail but carrying on biting the other nails. Although you’ve stopped biting the nail of one finger, you haven’t corrected the bad mental habit at all. You’re supporting the habit of attachment and imprisonment. When it comes to wanting to let go of the pain caused by Pink, White and Clear Jerry, you don’t have the strength to do it because you never learned to detach from all types of Jerry. That’s why if you want total liberation and freedom of your soul, you must understand and accept the law of change that governs everything and not form attachments to any Jerry. I advise my students to enjoy their Pink Jerry while it lasts; once it disappears, be wise and let it go gracefully. |
Meditation or BMSBH practice is the method of correcting the mental habit of attachment from all types of Jerry. Meditation leads one to enlightenment and the ultimate Truth, which is to perceive things as they are, Innocent Perception, Nirvana or God. Best wishes, Supawan |
