Hi,
Hey, I thought I have responded this. You really sounds like a parrot.
Are you suffering from psyhosis. Please go see a psychiatrist.
[MN 1.197] "Followers, the Brahma life is not lived for sake of gains,
honors, or acclaim; nor is it lived for virtuousness, nor for
absorptions, nor for gnosis and insight. This Brahma life is lived for
the sole preeminent purpose of emancipation of the CITTA alone, which
is the quintessential final core".
"So this holy life, bhikkhus, does not have gain, honour, and renown
for its benefit, or attainment of virtue for its benefit, or the
attainment of concentration for its benefit, or knowledge and vision
for its benefit. But it is this unshakeable deliverance of mind that
is the goal of this holy life, its heartwood, and its end."
[MN 1.301] "What is samadhi (the culmination of the entire Aryan path)
for? Samadhi, friend, is for making the mind (citta) sovereign".
"Lady, what is concentratio? What is the basis of concentration? What
is the equipment of concentration? What is the development of
concentration?"
"Unification of mind, friend Visakha, is concentration; the four
foundatins of mindfulness are the basis of concentration; the four
right kinds of striving are the equipment of concentration; the
repetition, development, and cultivation of these same states is the
development of concentration therein."
