OBJECT IS ENLIGHTENMENT

Desire without object is enlightenment. When you have some strong desire with object, you work towards that object. But if the object is removed the same strong pull, desire and energy

the same energy, turns towards itself and you realize yourself. When Masters say that there is nothing called enlightenment, they are breaking our goal-oriented mind and they are bringing us to this present moment.

Same way when Shankara says there is enlightenment, he uses that word as a stick. With that stick he will burn all other desires of you. Automatically the idea of enlightenment attracts you so much, all other desires are burnt. Finally this one desire, enlightenment is also dropped in the same fire; that also disappears. Then you are enlightened.

Sealing of desires cannot be done.
Suppression will only lead to
perversion and other difficulties.
Transformation is the only
possibility; suppression cannot be
done. Whether it is related to sense-
enjoyment or name and fame or
anything, the more you suppress, the
more you poison your system. All
you can do is to transform the
desires. If want this to happen, enter
into meditation and let your
energies be transformed.
