Zen Mode

‘tis now been quite a while since I imbibed the fragrance that haunts my memory in dreams and I have no means to rekindle the incense of sacred vibhuti that osmotically filled my being and so without seeking I yet yearn to invoke that ineffable elixir sublime and if this be desire, I have sinned

Question: Is a 'desire of the flesh' that brings one closer to The One actually a desire of the flesh? -- No sin, it seems to me. ~ Wonder-ing, Gershon

desires and fears are merely objects appearing in the sphere of our awareness, no different from a bird flying past our window. we are free as long as we do not cling to any object. yearning to entwine with God or let us say, the universe is ending separation, dispelling ignorance, freeing us from delusion that we are this limited, transient entity called identity. Then we become, as Jesus affirmed, ‘my Father and I are one’.
