In my young age I read a story - a funny but very sad story. A very childish story, but there is a big truth in it.
A guy is standing at the edge of the world and holding the whole sky on his head. It is too heavy, but he cannot move unless he gets somebody else to hold that weight. Another guy happens to come there and asks him, 'What happened? Why are you standing like that?' This fellow tries to give a big smile and says, 'Oh, you don't know, it is such a joyful, wonderful feeling, holding up the sky like this!' The second guy says, 'Really? Will you allow me to hold it up for half an hour, just half an hour?' The first guy says, 'No, half an hour is too much. Maybe I will give you five minutes, till I go to the bathroom and come back.' And he leaves the weight on this guy and runs away; that's all! After that, the second guy is waiting for the next person to come, to tell him the same lie and dump the weight on him.
Just like in this story, Time is a huge weight that everyone is carrying on his head, waiting for somebody else to come and give a big smile, that dirty party smile.
Why don't you reveal the truth that the whole human civilization is hypocrisy? Why don't you allow the truths of the enlightened beings to penetrate the mainstream human civilization? Why are you guys suffering and continuously transmitting this suffering to the planet earth, and making human beings believe that they inherit only suffering, but in the name of that big plastered smile, plastic sugared smile?
O human civilization! I call upon you to taste the ultimate truth which I tasted. O new generation, O human civilization which is ready to think — realize, Time is the worst myth taught to you!
