>Do you gaze the morning sun?
No. Yet the Sun is the supreme symbol in all of Nature. It's our true being, hidden in its own light, completely unnatainable because it was never lost in the first place. The Sun, the symbol of the total unmanifested, not visible, yet true. The Moon is the manifested, the visible star, which receives light from another. The Moon represents our world, and ourselves in all our perceived constituents. It is not true, for it receives the light of another, it is dependent on it. If you contemplate both in silence, without the desire to obtain, then you may learn all secrets from just these both symbols... because all truths are contained in just these two luminaries.

>Do you eat meats of killed animals?
No. Yet there is not meat to be eaten or not eaten. In the ordinary state of things though, it really is bad to eat meat for the "spiritual aspirant". Why? Food binds the mind to materiality, to earth. Meat is the most material of all foods; When one meats also one connects karmically to that animal life, with its stupidity and animalistic tendencies such as brutality, ignorance, sexuality, perversion. And suffering.

>Do you know the nature of suffering in human society?
Be it in human society or in the animal world or in any place there might be life, suffering is the same and the cause is the same: mentally attributing a self where there is none. It's all in the mind, in the intellect, all suffering and bliss is dependent on mind first, and the world second, and there might not be a difference between the two.... and so one who wants to penetrate into this mystery of suffering should start by watching his own mind, its operations, convolutions and so forth. It's easy and natural, one only needs to look.
