Whatever you may have, can also be take away from you.
Whatever can be learnt, can also be forgotten.
Then what "peace" or "happiness" can you have? The mere possibility of happiness and peace being threatened by their opposite, denies their essence. It is therefore vain to seek those, as they do not exist as such.
What knowledge (even this one) can there be, which will protect you from harm? When you need yourself to protect this knowledge from forgetfulness? And how can anyone prevent forgetfulness from occuring? Who can remember rememberance?
Whatever "you" are, cannot be taken away from "you". In that there is true peace, there is true completion and therefore happiness.
Hear me: not "the knowledge of what you are" but "you", regardless of the former, for knowledge, we have seen, does not bring peace. Now does this mean the state in which "you are just you and nothing else" or when "you are peace" is to be hold on to?
If states change and if "you" can "wear" them--so to speak--then is state not another possessable and therefore losable "thing"?
Nothing will save you. The holding onto such idea, is holding the walls of your own prison together. There is no such thing as freedom, for there is no such thing as captivity, for "you".
