“My father is wisdom and my mother is voidness.
My country is the country of Dharma.
I am of no caste and no creed.
I am sustained by perplexity; and I am here to destroy lust, anger and sloth.”
Padmasambhava

Re: Words
Lankavatara Sutra wrote:Word-discrimination goes on by the coordination of brain, chest, nose, throat, palate, tongue, teeth and lips. Words are neither different nor not different from discrimination. Words rise from discrimination as their cause; if words were different from discrimination they could not have discrimination for their cause; then again, if words are not different, they could not carry and express meaning. Words, therefore, are produced by causation and are mutually conditioning and shifting and, just like things, are subject to birth and destruction.
Lankavatara Sutra wrote:Words and sentences are produced by the law of causation and are mutually conditioning they cannot express highest Reality. Moreover, in highest Reality there are no differentiations to be discriminated and there is nothing to be predicated in regards to it. Highest Reality is an exalted state of bliss, it is not a state of word-discrimination, and it cannot be entered into by mere statements concerning it. The Tathágatas have a better way of teaching, namely, through self-realization of Noble Wisdom.

You think you’ve had a past because of your memories…
…but your memories are thoughts occurring in the present.

The more you educate yourself and work on self-development,
the less you are susceptible to toxic behavior and manipulation.

Re: Words
Maya is not a separate entity. Absence of light is called darkness, so also absence of knowledge, illumination etc., is called ignorance, illusion or Maya.
Also there is a concept of "mara".
see more for wikipedia

The goal is to understand.
to be able to know what is done for what.
This is the meaning of life.

Not sure if "knowing the self" is the most important.
