Why haven't I merged with the whole?

Master Kosen – Published on July 4 – concepts

Question

Sometimes, when I see all humanity struggling for survival and progress, I wonder what we live for. I have seen wonderful things, but because I have already seen them, I feel I could withdraw from this world. Why haven’t I merged with the whole? Does reaching nirvana mean losing consciousness?

Answer from Master Kosen

Zen offers nirvana while living right within life itself.
