Some people get tired of continual perception of the finite universe. They feel the perception of the universe over and over in variant forms is kind of an unhappy condition, because it doesn’t last.
Wisdom is to see the difference between nirvana and this world, this self-reflection that the mind creates.
The world is a grain of sand on the beach of Eternity. Eternity is a grain of sand on the beach of Infinity. The ocean of Nirvana connects both Eternity and Infinity without connecting them. Know this and you will be free.

This world only brings things apart that come together, and brings things together that weren’t together.

Honestly admitting what you lost and not trying to rationalize it or push it off is an important step in self-assessment and mindfulness.
If you are truly wise, then you reflect the universe and you are relational in your approach to things. You are a mirror of infinity. That is wisdom.
The ultimate intelligence of all things is your essence. Your mind is the universe. Your body is all things.
Knowledge is the ability to love, the ability to feel, the ability to probe the depths and the heights of life. It is the experience of the experiencer, and at the same time, it is beyond that.
