Hypothetical Situations

By all means try to avoid hypothetical situations.

These situations are just distractions, nothing else. Focus on what is here and now.

Gross and Subtle

Gross depends on assumptions. Assumption about 'I', assumption about the reality of the unreal, so on so forth.

Subtle doesn't depend on assumptions. In subtle, very basis of both gross and subtle is seen.

For the same reason gross cannot help you in knowing about your real nature, because assumption about 'I' becomes the hurdle and keeps you in ignorance.

Gross is the goal of an ignorant.

Subtle is the goal of the seeker. Seeker is cautious about assumption of 'I' and tries to find out and ofcourse succeeds.

Seeking knows no failure. By all means question everything, not externally (gross) but internally (subtle).

Roller Coaster

Senses try to take you on a roller coaster by fueling judgements, opinions, interpretations, emotions and so on so forth.

See that you are the space in which roller coaster moves, and not the crazy, super scared or momentary excited passenger/rider.

Just keep quiet to avoid being a rider.
