the.com/nirvana
the off switch for desire, found by people who stopped chasing it.
means In Buddhist and Hindu thought, the ultimate state of liberation in which craving, suffering, and the cycle of rebirth are extinguished; more loosely, a state of perfect peace or bliss.
from From Sanskrit nirvāṇa, literally a 'blowing out' or 'extinguishing' — nis- ('out') plus vāti ('it blows'), the same root family as wind. The image is a flame snuffed: the fire of desire and suffering simply ceases to burn. The word traveled west through Buddhist texts and entered English in the early 19th century as Western scholars began translating Eastern scripture.
