I agree much with what is said here, except I do follow what we call the Martial Zen way, to say that in doing, and in practicing these things is not following the right path, in itself is a wrong view. Of course in such a practice you do have the mindful awareness of what you are doing, and how to handle any situation with right effort. Many will not see this as such, but my own personal development and understanding have grown from this practice. Do what works for you. That is what was taught.

There is no innocence, only darma. There is no wrong path, only karma. There is no wrong result, only causes and conditions creating more causes and conditions. There is no present moment, all is ebb and change. There is no change, as this change is it's own permanence.... all is the Atman, do not be concerned with the results of your work, only strive for enlightenment. With enlightenment your karma will continue to unfold itself but "you" are not your karma....

2.) Also a lot of ppl suffer from the desire to get enlightened ! thats another kind of obsession which causes suffering. the wise say thats the pain of ignorance or soul pain and its good but again thats suffering. isn't it ? is it wise ?

so its like they tell something which makes me more confused but since he's a guru and many things he taught are very useful, its difficult to remove the things which make me unpleasant which i cant understand.

Also I have seen ppl suffering from the deire to become enlightened. Instead of enjoying te present they meditate to become enlightened and the wise call it the pain of ignorance and its good but thats suffering again ! what to do ?

@yuttadhammo Dear friend, I have two questions and would be really thankful if you could answer them : 1.) I listen to some really enlightened beings and gurus and I understand something but somethings I fail to understand as to why did they say this and that leads to a lot of confusion and hence suffering. Now if a layman says something it's easier to let go but if a guru says so then it becomes difficult to remove it from the mind. How to go about it ?
