Oops. Sorry to cause you stress, Kaarine!

Oh No problem FBM!

What I mean is that in my personal experience, to work with that ideas, do not lead to stillness of mind, to focus in the here and now. Being into such speculations throws the mind far from the here and now. Wanders, speculates, entangles in itself. Meditation needs the mental silence of the letting go of all such wanderings, even for those that are agreeable, attractive and seductive.

On the other hand, I feel that I have some shortcomings due to the difficulty I experience to imagine in abstract terms. That is maybe the origin of some of the mental stress I have had experienced with such abstractions.

But anyway FBM... Do you think that can be a good idea to open a new thread so to comment the Milinda Panha Sutta you have quoted, so to keep this one for BatteredRose?
