Sacred Secret
Sacredness is the secret of the universe. In the womb of sacredness, creation happens. Consciousness is sacred.
Craving and Bondage
The craving for sense objects is bondage. Their existence seems to have given you a little pleasure, so it binds you. Now you crave for it, and it gives you more and more pain.
False Promises
This is the nature of sense objects: they promise pleasure to begin with and even give you also a little taste, but then leave you with pain and suffering.
Freedom
Freedom is what? Lack of craving. Detachment from the objects of the senses.
It is the pleasure that binds you. And the bondage is painful. If you are bound, you are not bound
Freedom from the pleasure is the real pleasure. Pain does not bind you
Stop and Be
Burn the seed of craving, and then the Non-Doer---Brahman---is already available.
Begging
There is a throne, why don't you sit in that throne? It is for you. You are walking around with a torn cloth, in a shabby state, begging for things that anyway belong to you. Stop being a beggar. And craving is nothing but being like a beggar.
