Like Clouds or Raindrops ...


We don't usually see a 'subject' in clouds floating in the sky.

Clouds are just floating, they are not trying to float.  


In other words, a cloud doesn't need another subject that 
controls itself.

If a cloud thinks that the "I" inside that cloud is controlling 
itself, it might be a rather weird (or crazy) cloud!

...

What about animals?

We name a dog (say, the dog's name is Pochi), as if 
something other than that dog exists inside it.

When the dog barks, we think that Pochi is thinking about something, and that thinking resulted in its barking.

Is that true?


OK, so, the next time you see a dog,
see if it is different from clouds.
How is it different, and what makes it different from clouds, bubbles in the stream, raindrops ... or whatever?

Do they have a separate entity inside them?  LOOK.

...

Now, what about humans, including yourself?
Do you have a separate entity inside you?

Where?
When?
How?

LOOK and see if there is any.

...


Nothing in this world has another subject in itself.
If they had, we have to give two names for its 'appearance'
and its 'subject,' but that's a total nonsense.


(But that nonsense is what we are doing for ourselves, 
 btw.  So, humans are the craziest kinds of clouds ... hehe)


Water is water. Body is body.  Dog is dog.
World is world.  Thought is thought.
So on, on and on ...


What else?
