Sorin Cerin Vanity Quotations

Only then man will raise his eyes to the sun that caressed with its rays so many millennia of frustration and anguish, of absurd and uncertainty, of lack of power and suffering. He will hail the sun and the stars and everything that surrounds him knowing they are all vanity of vanities. Vanity of vanities that will give man a meaning! This vanity of vanities will tell the man that he truly dreams his own Illusion of Life, that he finally found the meaning!

Nevertheless, love was given to us not only as fulfilment, as ideal, but as suffering, hopelessness, despair too. Is it all this the shield of this vanity called dream of our life or Illusion of Life?

The fact that the man is not alone, that he is solitary to the entire universe even through vanity it means a major thing, it means the true meaning of his existence, that of not being lonely, of being an entire Universe.

Why are men so secretive, why are they afraid of the truth, sometimes even of themselves? Why don't they want to admit that they would want to love with their entire being because this is everything that remains out of this vanity called Life?

This will be the true sacerdotal human being that will look in the distance of the space of the universe as the ages of billions and billions of years, long before the age when man was enslaved collapse on him by slowly making disappear the lights in which the life of a certain star, that could be the star of his Destiny is still wavering. Through the vanity of his own Universe, man will find his true meaning that of being equal to the Universe, to not be the one that is kneeled and enslaved to its laws. Through vanity, man will feel stronger because he will realize that he is not alone in this vanity. That he does not owe any divinity and that he is as strong as any divinity in this vanity. Then vanity will become church and shield, beauty and fulfilment.

Not even man that will re-find himself will be able to remove the vanity from this diabolic world, but he can change it from a vanity of his ideological debauchee into a vanity of self reconciliation. The divinity in man cannot admit vanity and thus it will try to replace it with new reasons for which we are born, but it will finally understand that everything is a big vanity and a great sin that no longer belongs to us but to the print that whispered our existence, full of the thorns of the moments that hunt us.

And the meaning of man in this dream of his Illusion of Life is to fulfil the man, to know that he is not in the least more insignificant than the sun or the stars, to know that the sun and the stars of the endless universe will finally become the same stardust as the man, that nothing is above him. He will know the divinity in him won the battle on the entire universe by giving it a meaning, that of a being that accepts the vanity and though this acceptance it becomes a divine being, that no longer is inferior to the universe, but equal to it, because the stras and the man will be lost in the same stardust
