Desire

One by one, dump your desires. Yes, all of them. Start small—say, with a desire for potato chips—and then move up from there, even as far as sugar and sex and possessions. After a couple of successful relinquishments, you’ll find it gets easier and easier to let go of these mind-made confinements. And even, strange to say, a bit thrilling. Because ultimately you arrive at your heart’s desire, the one that necessitated the sweeping away of all the others.

This above all

Our heart’s desire is immutable. It cannot be altered; it’s the same now as it ever was. When we know what truly wills us, our satisfaction runs as deep as it can go.
