How tempting is it to want to understand, to grasp, to comprehend and somehow control Life. With such knowledge, this Life, so volatile, would not be able to hurt me. Not only that, it would make me powerful, people would need my knowledge, people would love me. I would feel good, i would be this invincible person, i would not be afraid to die. How tempting is it to want this!
But this desire, latent, is the very cause of misery and inadequacy. It is the very obstacle which prevents me from appreciating what i (already) am.
For i am this, which is prior to this knowledge. I am that which is prior to the desire. I am that which is prime -- and prior to that even.
