Govinda said: But what you call this thing, is it something real, something intrinsic? Is it not only the illusion of Maya, only image and apparance? Your stone, your knee, are they real?
"This also does not trouble me much," said Siddhartha. If they are an illusion then I am also an illusion, and so they are always of the same nature as myself. If it that which makes them so lovable and venerable. That is why I can love them (...) It seems to me, Govinda, that love is the most important thing in the world. It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world, to explain and despise it. But I think it is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love admiration and respect.
Just typed that. oh
