Human Relations

My Comment: hahaha.....I hope we understand this simple truth. 

AI Baba: 

The perspective that desiring a human being—whose life is a temporary cycle from sperm to death (cremation or burial)—is illusory is a central theme in many Eastern philosophies, particularly Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma) and Buddhism. This view posits that the material body is temporary and perishable, making attachment to it a form of Maya (illusion). 

Key Aspects of this Perspective:

The Illusion of Permanence: The material body is constantly changing, eventually turning into ashes (cremation) or dust (burial). Desiring or attaching to this temporary form, rather than the eternal soul (Atman) or Consciousness, is considered Maya.

Samsara (Cycle of Life and Death): The journey from sperm to death is part of Samsara, an unending cycle of birth, death, and rebirth driven by karma and desire. Desiring someone in this context means desiring a form that is destined to pass away, leading to suffering (dukkha) when that desire is inevitably unfulfilled.

The Void of Desire: Philosophically, human beings often chase objects of desire to fill an internal void, but this chase is a fantasy that fuels further cravings rather than bringing lasting satisfaction.

The Real vs. The Unreal: In the light of eternity, material life is seen as a "dream-like" flicker of time. The only "real" or permanent element is the eternal self (soul), while the body is temporary.

Liberation from the Illusion: The ultimate goal is to break free from this cycle by realizing the temporary nature of the body and detaching from material cravings, achieving Moksha (liberation) or Nirvana. 

This view encourages recognizing the transient nature of existence to avoid the attachment and suffering that accompany the illusion of permanent human relationships.
