Total disinterestedness cannot be the disinterestedness of any finite self. Letting go of all, detachment. Short expressions, easy to apprehend superficially. But in their deep meaning they hold the keys to the heart of the world. To let go of the past, of all persons, to let be, let pass. This means relinquishing all desire and identity. This means freedom. It is utterly foolish to make relinquishment something external and physical. It is a transcendental act in the secret depths of the heart. We come to be, come to be what we are, through what we are attached to and desire. And every person is radically different people throughout the stream of life - where lies this identification of different masks ?
Non omnes formulae significant quantitatem, et infiniti modi calculandi excogitari possunt. (Leibniz)
