The primary delusion - Battlecry of Freedom


The nonduality of form and emptiness is true of all phenomena – everyone, and everything, everywhere. The nonduality of personal identity, however, is the most difficult to realise. The realisation of the nonduality of identity is of primary importance, because it is from this primary delusion that all self-centredness and unkindness arises. The belief that identity is form and never changes, never dissolves, but always abides, gives rise to the self-centred support and protection of identity, and the belief that it is more important than the needs of other beings.
