The Root of Desire

Desire not, and find freedom. This is a communalist interpretation of reality; they say. So it all seems to be dismissed in a past that reminds dystopia. Desire not, and experience your inner glory. How can communalism apply to the inner workings of reality? There are certain affairs that have no social contract, and although interpreted as self centered, what would happen if in the deepest solitude one could find the greatest generosity? All that has been taught is to yearn for a future where action seems to be applied because it seems that in the past action was engraved. So, yearning becomes our ruler, and us the ruled. Was it because it is in desire where fear is bred? Was it because it is in fear where sadness nurturers constant frustration? Was it because it is in frustration where anger provides a vehicle for self-destruction? Was it because it is in self-destruction where hatred is nurtured? So, I ask: what would happen if I understood desire from its incipient clinging to its tornado of rage as I unfold the truth of impotence? Open your mind to the question above, understand the source of violence within yourself, and though introspection observe patiently until your reality blossoms in petals of peace. Do not crave not desiring; instead observe the yearning so it doesn’t have power over you, nor you have the duty of empowering it. Mindful attention, my dear self, find reality by myself. For it is not a way to foretell, but a “me” to face deep in the root of desire.
