Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 > > Just one subtle difference though .. this Desire is not born in the mind .. but it is straight from the HEART .. a natural bonding between the child and the mother ..unfortunately down the ages , we have forgotten that we are but children and that the Divine Mother's love is always there for the asking ... but the EGO makes us proud and wants to retain individuality ... as you rightly pointed out .. no amount of reading or writing can prompt this DESIRE .. it must necessarily flower from within our heart with HIS INFINITE GRACE..period.. > > love > > r Namaste R, The engine of creation is desire....but that is illusion is it not? Desire from the heart is attachment or bonding as the buzzword goes these days. I'm not saying all desire is bad---I did mention bhakti and its culmination in egolessness. However why not surrender now? For a desire to be realised may become intense and then so strong one will not recognes the signals, waiting for the 'experience'. For example one may meditate or do japa and lose consciousness and wonder what happened. Thinking that one fell asleep and must stop doing that when in all probabality it was sahaja samadhi, or the natural state Ramana calls it. No memory not anything!! So people get into the natural state but don't recognise it for their desire needs bells and whistles and experience.. So desire is useful to point one on the path but like bliss it can become an impediment...........Cheers Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
