If Indians believe in rebirth, then why don't they kill themselves?

doesn't the worst of worst be reborn as rock?

>how can I ever die and how can I ever be reborn?
Trick is you're the offspring of stars bursting into supernovas which crate the chemicals making up your body. There is a joke being played upon us, the best joke is that you are everything in existence.

>you are everything in existence.
Then it follows that there is no becoming nor is there begoing (to use a stupid, but somewhat meaningful term)

Simply put, it is an illusion. And being separate from anything else is the funniest thing we can learn of.

Is it then correct to say that the saddest thing is to unlearn of it.

Why do people on Jow Forums talk to each other in English when they're from the same country?

Jow Forums isn't our private chatroom?

Learning of your true self leads to liberation from suffering. You are literally everything in existence.

How is it possible to learn if I already am knowledge and how does one distinguish knowledge from illusion if they are already me?

There is no freedom from the else. You are the all. Suffering is caused because you seek for freedom, because you see yourself different. In a true state of mind you won't even care if somebody tries to cut your head off with a katana, because you know the truth.

It's so paradoxical I love it!

There's a duality. I told you there's a joke being played upon us.

There is no us :D

Sometimes they don't, and you don't know what languages the other person speak, for example in the case of Estonia around two thirds of the population is a native Estonian speaker but 30% have Russian as a mother tongue, and if the OP thread was in English and the subsequent posts were also written in English I think it's just natural to just keep posting in English

Even the Russian descent people here speak/write pretty good Estonian so that's a non-issue for us. I think it is just polite to engage other posters to take part in our little esoteric hour, that's all.

Nice. I have an allergy towards Western authors interpreting Eastern thought tho. They lack the vocabulary to translate the original texts and when I read them I am faced with my own interpretation of an interpretation. Would be nice to know ancient languages to get to the source. And btw, we have Linnart Mäll who has done some ebin translations. It seems finno-ugric languages have pretty much 1:1 words for Eastern concepts.

Please don't kill yourself, user.

see ya later pal

Any specific recommendations?

A list of the most well known translations used in some curricula in uni.
When I was very young I read this one.
"India avastamine. Valitud esseed". Inglise keelest tõlkinud Maret Kark. Eessõna lk 5–7 ja kommentaarid lk 134–138: Linnart Mäll. Loomingu Raamatukogu 1978, nr 24–26, 144 lk
I'm trying to hunt down those books from old book stores, but it seems they are bought really fast when ever someone drops a copy on sale.

Daodejing is available online if you can bear reading a "book" on a monitor. There's also a re-print available afaik, but I have no idea if it preserves the classic text structure and wording.
