The Nirvana Man
Mr Cool
The Nirvana Man (Sorry! For man substitute: PERSON. I
apologise if you have taken offence,) has solved his problem, i.e. attained his
goal. The heat of the stress (Pali: dukkha) generated by the inner turbulence resulting
from the unresolved problem of the Split Man has
been extinguished and transformed by him either as a sense of lightness or
brightness (i.e. as in enlightenment), or as a whole body-mind surge of joy or
rapture.
His pilgrimage to fulfilment, to the experience of
complete and utter wholeness, hence perfection, over, the Nirvana Man is a
blissful Mr. Cool.
However, to avoid cooling
down completely, therefore to extinction (Pali: nirodha), the cool Nirvana Man
warms up (self-differentiates) again, though in a different way. Whereas as
Split Man his internal heat (or dis-stress, Pali: dukkha) burnt him up, now, as
Mr Cool he directs his (compassionate) warmth to burn (in the sense that a CD
is burnt) others, to transform them, thereby remaining cool and cooling them. By virtue of his own state of
perfection (i.e. of @-oneness) he can reconfigure others with his perfect
means, thereby helping them achieve their perfection, enlightenment and joy,
and thereafter coolness too.
In short, before nirvana (i.e. blow-out
of stress/heat) there is a Split (i.e. undecided) Man without a singular, hence
different creative thrust, that is to say, without a specific unique function,
goal or purpose. During nirvana there is neither a man nor a creative thrust,
indeed, no function at all. After nirvana there is a creative thrust but no
discernable man. After complete extinction of the fire of stress, as in
parinirvana) there is neither thrust nor man, (perhaps) just the creative as
un-relativised creative potential (elsewhere named the Brahman or God).
