If people were going to be philosophical about it or make some kind of assumption or argument that actually made any sense as to what Nirvana actually is, the only answer they'd be able to give would be that it's a higher, divine existence. Yes, praise Buddha for his vague bullshit.
It's all a bunch of crap. The closest Nirvana got to being divine was the Grunge band, and they sucked more than a drunken Paris Hilton. |
a state of mind brought on upon the awareness of complete bliss and unity with the cosmos.
i don't understand the proper eastern concept of nirvana, but westernly it seems to have become more of a sense of divine pleasure, what causes it i really can't say, but there are a wide assortment of chemicals and other reactions in our brain that when presented with certain stimulation release certain, highs and sensations through our body and brain, altering our perceptions of the world.
....nirvana, from my observation; would seem to be one heck of a psychotropic drug that leaves you serenely happy rather than over exerted after you come down from a night of celebrating; the theme is slightly more, ethereal inspired and less about getting drunk and laid, and doesn't require illegal chemicals to get you there.
i love it when people don't understand a state of being spiritual, but they try to sound like experts when they're saying "it's not real" how do they know, if they've never experienced it?
