Cyclone Dreaming 8 – Prajna; Kurana

Prajna; Kurana
The impermanence of things is recognised throughout Asia as the fundamental condition of the Universe. The inability to come to terms with this basic fact of life – the habit of clinging to or grasping at illusions – is seen as the cause of human suffering and frustration. Where there is no sense of the origin of impermanence in divine activity that also restores rest to the troubled, the mitigation of suffering is seen as a human imperative. This is said to be achieved by overcoming the point of view that creates self‑ interest by distinguishing between things thereby separating the self from the whole. The undivided nature of reality is grasped by direct mystical experience but not in concepts and ideas of the intellect. It is therefore called "the void" or emptiness ‑ (no thing). In practice this "right awareness" is arrived at by right meditation supported by and at the same time clarifying right seeing, knowing and action ‑ "right life style".

It is intuition PRAJNA ‑ that sees beyond the distinctions drown between things in the intellect. To shift one's focus from the self to the whole is an act of compassion – KURANA.
