To Desire or Not to Desire, That is the Question…
Is it nobler to sit, meditate and desire nothing? Should I detach from the world, sit like a yogi as the world passes me by like so many clouds coming and going?
Or… should I play full out, totally engage, really go for what I want, no holds barred?
Hmm… seems like a conflict. To attach or not, to desire or not, to engage or disengage.
Buddhist Eastern thought advises us to stop getting hung up on desires, which are but mirages in an impermanent world. Stop attaching to desires and you stop suffering.
Western philosophy tells us to work hard and create a productive life.
Further, the law of attraction suggests your desires are an outreach of source itself, wanting to explore and express itself through you.
