desire / Jan

[Guest guest]

Hi Jan --

Not sure exactly what is meant by

in this context by "cessation of

desire" and "having desires" ...

Perhaps "feeling and perceiving needs"?

If desire is taken as simply the movement

of energy toward an outcome,

there is desire in the formulation

of sentences structured into a letter ...

Things happen -- brain activates,

words form, fingers type in response to

what was read -- whether this involves

desire or not is simply an interpretation.

No interpretation, no question of desire or

desirelessness...

It's all "what is" -- nothing for "what is"

to non-dualize ...

Freely,

Dan

(snip) Here, the cessation of

desire means that desire is impossible, not that desire is

suppressed or "non-dualized" by for instance "what

is". Hence, the impossibility

of having desires is but another expression for "automatic

renunciation"...

So there isn't a discrepancy between the translations...

Freedom,

Jan

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the

nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to

be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self. Welcome
