Good evening!
The moon comes up in the east and goes down in the west. Seeing and saying that the sun rises from the east and sets in the west seems natural. Seeing and saying that the self is the center of the universe sounds natural. Both, however, are untrue – from the viewpoint of the solar system in totality (with respect to the former) and the wholly wholesome world view and work (with respect to the latter). Only when we see squarely the ultimate, universal, eternal truth can we settle safely in unconditioned peace.
