I spent years in meditation retreats, trying to silence my desires, only to realize that the act of suppression was causing more inner turmoil. It wasn’t until I started observing my desires without attachment that I began to experience true contentment. It’s a challenging practice, but one that has profoundly transformed my life.

It highlights how the pursuit of spiritual goals can sometimes mirror the same patterns of desire that we experience in material pursuits. This realization has made me more mindful of my own spiritual aspirations and the motivations behind them. It’s a reminder that the journey is as important as the destination, and that true peace comes from embracing the present moment.

In any case, the most important thing is to realize that “I am neither the author nor the owner of desires which, like thoughts, only appear in the Consciousness-that-I-am”. Thus, as pure Consciousness, these desires, of which I am only the Witness or impassive Spectator, are not “mine”, are not “mine”. Free from all need, the pure Consciousness-that-I-am grasps nothing, appropriates nothing, wants nothing and expects nothing.

When this understanding becomes vast and profound and if it must be so, it is then possible to witness the extinction of desires as well as that of the “false-self” or “I-concept”.

Many times we react to something and we regret immediately, it is evidence that seeds were present but until there was no provocation, the seeds were not sprouting. If we understand the roots of desires, then no effort is required to extinguish the flame.

There is a difference between the desire to abandon one’s self itself and the desire to become one with oneself in every moment of one’s life. The former must be accompanied by knowledge of the principle of non-selfhood.

However, self-awareness can also be achieved through direct awareness of this consciousness

The whole spiritual path is filled with advice of becoming “desireless”. You have brought great clarity to this and I can now understand how this can also be a trap on the spiritual path. I have been reading J krishnamurti for some time now and I think investigating and understanding desires is the only way out. Thank you again for this beautiful article!
