Liberation from Longing

Thursday 31 March 2022

Our Longing Is the Last Thing We Give Up

A man asks about longing because he has a fondness for the longing for truth. Rupert suggests that, by definition, if there is any longing in us – even the most refined longing for the truth – it presupposes that your true nature is not there. Our longing is the last thing we have to give up, and often it is the most difficult because a sense of ourself is invested in our longing. All separate selves are, by definition, seeking. It is not what it does; it is what it is.
