Nirvana.
We must strive to overcome the sources of suffering. Just as being burned by fire is excruciatingly hot, we wonder what life would be like in a state of Nirvana, where both physical and mental tranquility are achieved. Physically, there is a coolness that does not allow the burning fire to harm, and mentally, there is a sense of contentment and joy.
This state of coolness is what we call "Nirvana," a term that signifies "coldness." In essence, Nirvana implies a state of being cool both physically and mentally. Even experiencing a slight coolness can be considered a minor Nirvana, while complete and lasting coolness signifies the absolute Nirvana, enduring forever. Thus, whenever we feel coolness and lack the burning passions, we recognize that Nirvana has visited us, even if it's just in a small measure.
However, many people are indifferent to this notion of Nirvana. The overwhelming heat of passion consumes and captivates them. They find pleasure in the intensity of passion and view it as enjoyable. Due to ignorance, their minds seek satisfaction in heated pursuits, and they become attached to suffering, which is quite perplexing and foolish.
To find relief from suffering, one must understand impermanence, the nature of suffering, and the absence of a fixed self. By contemplating these truths daily, a gradual aversion towards suffering develops. This occurs because suffering, despite appearing pleasurable and delightful, is still inherently hot and chaotic. Even the highest forms of goodness can lead to turmoil. For true peace and tranquility, we must detach ourselves from delusions, arrogance, and the burdens of goodness.
Evil is akin to carrying a heavy rock that brings about suffering and anxiety, while goodness is like carrying a valuable jewel with a similar weight. Therefore, both good and evil can be relinquished. When we let go of all attachments, we enter the realm of emptiness and attain Nirvana. In this state, there is no self to bear burdens, no ignorance to cause suffering through preconceived notions. Everything becomes weightless, and there is no heat, darkness, or entanglement in desires. It is a state of supreme liberation, the pinnacle of human existence.
