Answer 1

I think this is one of the great truths of the world. The only desire that should remain with us is the desire for good.

Creo que ésa es una de las verdades más grandes del mundo. El único deseo que se nos debería quedar es el deseo por la bondad.

Hola Pumpkin! Nice thought. - 0095ca4c, Aug 4, 2012

That is terrific PC, but can you extend that thought of goodness , an expectation of good without a desire , hold that thought and you will know the freedom which comes from the lack of desire. - ray76, Aug 4, 2012

True ray, and thanks Margherite! :) - PumpkinCalabaza, Aug 4, 2012

Answer 2

Una posible traducción: "Cuando nos liberemos del deseo, conoceremos la serenidad y la libertad".

Estoy de acuerdo, Ray, muchísimo más fácil de decir que de hacer. ¿De verdad se puede vivir sin desear?

Thank you cordobesa, there are times when to say , and do that would appear facile , but once understood and done, it is an unbelievable freedom of thought , and a new perception of life. - ray76, Aug 5, 2012

Answer 3

To be perfect you should sell all your possesions and give the money to the poor._ Matthew Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose._Chris Christopherson. The most free people I know have nothing but thier guitar, but then again, I don't know anyone in the 1%. I think they experience a different kind of complete freedom.

Vender todos sus posesiones y dar el dinero a los pobres. Entonces tendrás tesoros en el cielo.

Hola amigo, ¿que es 1%? - 0095ca4c, Aug 4, 2012

The people at the top 1% of wealth. The 99% is everyone else.:) - Ranman, Aug 4, 2012

Thanks Ranman. I don't know any of them either. :-) - 0095ca4c, Aug 4, 2012

You are right Ranan. One step further , is to free the mind of the "possessive thought " and the "I " when that is done whether you have the "things " or not is irrelevant . Thank you for your clear thinking and input mate. - ray76, Aug 5, 2012

Gracias maestro:) - Ranman, Aug 5, 2012
