"We are on an inevitable course of awakening.
If you understand that message deeply, it allows you to enter into your
spiritual practices from a different perspective, one of patience and
timelessness. You do your practices not out of a sense of duty or
because you think you should, but because you know in your soul there
really is nothing else you would rather do.
In Sanskrit, this is called vairagya, a state of weariness with worldly desire where only the desire for spiritual fulfillment is left.
The spiritual pull is the last desire, one that really grabs you, but that dissolves on its own because you dissolve in the process. The Tao
says, "In the end, you will be like the valley which is the favorite resort of the Way." You become receptive, become soft, become open, become attuned, become quiet. You become the ocean of love."
