The Door To Enlightenment Follow Me IN! Follow Me IN!
Desiring means you have moved away from reality. You have moved away from that which IS.
Desire means you have fallen into the trap of a dream. Desire means you are not 'here' and 'now', you have gone somewhere in the future which doesn't exist. Desire means you are not satisfied with what you have. If you can be in the present moment and enjoy, you will drop from the vicious cycle of desires. This is the nature of surrender. Surrendering is non-desiring, which allows your nature to express itself.
FROM DESIRE TO CLARITY
When you light the candle of understanding, desire disappears. It is not a question of what you desire. The very act of desiring itself is misery. When you are desireless, the 'I' or the ego disappears, so the misery disappears.
All desires must disappear. Only in a desireless moment, will what you are asking for happen.
When we hear this, the next thing that occurs is your wanting to be desireless! But this is one more desire! You cannot desire desirelessness. You must simply understand the futility of desire. Through the understanding itself, the greed for desirelessness drops.
Watch every act that you do. Watch every thought, every desire that possesses you. As you watch, your chattering mind chatters less, because the energy that was earlier chattering and fuelling the desire is now being transformed into watchfulness. When this happens, clarity arises and the desire dissolves. Actually, the attachment to the desire drops.

When you watch your desire, you will be able to see two things: desire by its very nature cannot bring you fulfillment. When you realize this, the desire disappears. Second, you will see that only when you transcend desire do you reach fulfillment.
When you realize the very nature of desire, you accept that desiring is the nature of the mind. Please be very clear: acceptance is not the same as resignation. Resignation is defeat. One becomes resigned when one feels nothing more can be done about something. Acceptance is a totally different thing. Acceptance does not mean that you have accepted defeat. It simply means that there you have clearly seen and understood the real nature of something, that's all! Acceptance has nothing to do with defeat or victory. It is just clearly seeing what IS, that's all.
