There is a secret to this merry-go-round. The only reason it goes on is
because we hold on to it. When we loose our grip, we very soon get thrown off
it. But we love this merry-go-round. We would never in our existence let go
of our hold on to it. Never. So we stay on it forever.
Now, of course, the merry-go-round is something we know. To loose the grip
into the unknown void is kind of scary. And then, we think there is nothing
there, since we can't see it.
Many religions preach that we should stop enjoying worldly pleasures and so
on. That is exactly that. The worldly pleasures are what the merry-go-round
can offer, and as we can't live without pleasure, and we know nothing else,
we hold on to it hard. But it is also just that, the holding on to worldly
pleasures, which is our grip on this merry-go-round and keeps us here.
The belief that the woldly pleasures is all there is, is what is called
"illusion" or "maya". That we are figures on the merry-go-round, and bolted
to the floor of it. Horses, pigs, rabbits, or whatever is in the design. But
we are not the figures. We are the children riding on the figures. The
figures are bolted, but we can actually step off. Like small children, we
forget the external world, and want to go on this merry-go-round forever,
never get off. We have temporarily forgetting the world outside.
One day we hear the call of our Mother, the Goddess, who says "dear child, you
have been riding this merry-go-round so long, please come to me". And then,
maybe we start to remember what we are. That we need to let go of our grip to
this lovely rabbit that we are riding, and go to our even more lovely parents
instead. That there is a bigger world outside. That there is the love of our
father and mother out there. What is the love of the bunny, that we are
reading on, compared to that? Absolutely nothing. So the material pleasures
then dwindle to pains, and instead we start to feel the hard back of the
merry-go-round bunny, the nasua of going around and around, and remember the
warmth and love of our mother. At that point we can let go, crying, and we
leave this tour that first started out as pleasure but later turned into
pain.
