Upon hearing Evola's use of nirvāņa as "cessation of restlessness" exactly what the term was supposed to mean became perfectly clear. I believe this sort of restlessness should be immediately familiar to any other modern man. It is a pre-occupation with all things sensory, an over-stimulation of the rational capabilities of the mind, a constant nagging desire. Shortly later Evola also translated it more literally as "non-mania" which only cemented my interpretation. Physical restlessness of the body and mental manic restlessness are two parts of a whole, and both parts must be addressed for the whole soul to be at the 'peace' of which Buddhism speaks. This restlessness is the nature of the 'desire' to be shorn; it is the source of all ties to the external; it builds the false self which distracts one from one's true Self.

To overcome it requires discipline and the employment of techniques. I'm grateful for these examples as I have been feeling the need to expand my daily routine. Meditation has seemed too difficult for too long and it is time for the restlessness to go.
