Basically what i'm saying is that 'efforting away' attachments and desires simply doesn't work. i've found that if the looking is sincere and there's no procrastination or hesitation about it, clear seeing 'burns away' any and all attachments. It does require focus and sincerity... in other words, the willingness to REALLY see things 'as they are'. This is not 'my teaching', Nisargadatta is the one always talking about " the importance of being Earnest " <laugh>. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
