Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forum. I hope it's suitable and that you enjoy it.
Here is a brief idea of what I hold to be the meaning of life. In this analogy, Brahman is represented by the chess set.
Imagine you are are a game of chess; you are all of the pieces and the board simultaneously, as well as every move that every player makes in the game.
For you, it doesn't make sense if someone invites you to play chess; you are the playing of chess.
You can't even watch yourself be played.
This is why you become a player; so that you can understand what chess is, play it, watch it. You can participate in the activity, rather than be the activity itself.
