When we desire we must be a bit careful. Everyone knows that.
Because most likely it is an ego doing the desiring and keeping the desire strengthens that ego. Which we don't really care about but later on all of a sudden it is a problem. Once again to reiterate this point, it seems to be no problem at first but later on, well that's a different story. Most of the time we don't realise it is a problem until it is there right in front of us!
If we though yearn or long or desire for the abstract, we are safe.
However, the abstract that I am referring to here, is something essential, and it is as essential to us as anything essential could be.
Abstract is usually intangible. The ego desires for things in matter in the world or for feelings that are for matter, for the world.
A desire to reach the inner mind for example, is a totally abstract goal, one which is safe and one which is essential. What could be more essential to us than the inner mind - the voice which our consciousness takes in our mind?
The desire for freedom, a desire to help other essences, a desire for more consciousness, for mystical death etc.
End (3665).
