Take a moment now to bring your attention right here and allow yourself to rest before any thoughts or cares, before any emotions, and before any discomfort of the body. And rest here in the peace of your heart.
See that all desires move you out of this place of peace and leave you in bondage with who you are not. Some desires appear to be worse than others for they appear to leave you in a bigger mess. However, if you pursue any desire it will always give you trouble. How could they do otherwise?
Why desire at all when all desire is destined to failure and bondage?
Even desiring a state of 'freedom from desire' will not set you free. Nothing can set you free, because you are already free. Who you are is freedom itself.
See yourself with desireless clarity that is all.
Realize that your true nature is this motion of life that is looking through your very eyes right now. It is the same motion of life that is behind your eyes, looking through your eyes, standing before your eyes, sustaining all that is perceived - seen and unseen. It is that in which all things are created, sustained and die. Who you are is that. This is you.
All you are suffering - and have ever suffered - is a case of mistaken identity. You have believed yourself to be a person - a body and mind. When all along in fact, you have been and are nothing but this very 'aliveness' that sustains all things, this One that is the very backdrop of existence.
It is love. It is completely independent of all arising experiences. It is a rock-like mass of nothingness from which all things are born.
Enjoy the clarity and peace that is your true nature.
