Freedom Comes when we are Free from Desire - (1060)

Introduction

We have to leave the desire to be loved all together. That is freedom.

It seems so scary to leave that desire. As soon as we contemplate this possibility we see ourselves as alone, abandoned and bereft.


All the Masters Before Us Did It!

Isn’t true that all the great masters before us, have dissolved the desire to be sought after and loved?
Then we must do the same at some point.


Will we be?

We may think that we will be cruel. But will we? I think that we won't be. We are more likely to be giving freely of our love.

We have our Being, and in our Being is love and so we will be love and so how then can we lose love?


Conclusion

We will certainly be free, and more loving and more of love itself. This is because the desire for love cuts us off from it and we can never control the receiving of love. Love is like water as soon as we close our hand on the water in the palm of our hand it escapes, that is the first thing we do to lose love is to try and control it.

End (1060).
