The sutra: "Lead me from ignorance to truth, from darkness to light, from death to immortality" sounds very, very familiar to me. It's almost exactly like what I use every day in my own meditations.

Hinduism, and indeed, many of the Eastern religions we've studied so far, remind me of a grammatically challenge green alien of my acquaintance of what I've been taught to associate with the Force.

Now, tell me what makes this creed so difficutl to live by?

Because...immortality. Is there a way to become immortal? Is there something at the end of it all. Everything dies. Stars, suns, planets, people oh, the people. Mom, are you still alive?.

*shakes head* It's an impossible creed to live up to.
