is, and in that is-ness, god happens. God cannot be desired but can be attained, and is attained only when there is no desire hindering the path. k is desire that is keeping everybody distant from god. One goes on running and running and never stops to see who one is.
Your name is going to be your key. You have to use this key to unlock the door of existence. See desire, watch desire, witness desire. The moment you have understood the whole trap of desire, in that very understanding desire disappears. I am not saying to fight desire, because if you do you can fight only with another desire. Fight presupposes another desire -- maybe the desire to become desireless. Again the mind has trapped you in the same pattern. Now the mind says 'Good. So desire desirelessness, because in desirelessness god happens. So now this is the goal and we have to work for it, we have to fight desire.' The action starts and the doing has come back and you are no more relaxed; again you are occupied.
Existential psychology has a very fundamental rule, and the rule is: to know the what is to know the how. If you know the what of a problem, in that very knowing you will know the how of it -- how to get out of it. If one watches desire intensely, consciously, without any enmity, judgement, condemnation, without taking any side for or against, if one simply witnesses desire, then the what of desire is known, and in that very knowing the how happens. Then you never ask how to drop desire; that question is irrelevant. Knowing the what is knowing the how.
So watch the desiring mind and start enjoying the moment; never wait for any future to come, never postpone -- celebrate now! This is the deepest, the greatest teaching of aU the ages. This is tao.
Prem means love, pragyana means wisdom. The mind lives in knowledge; the heart lives in wisdom. They are as far away from each other as the earth and the sky. Knowledge can deceive one as wisdom, then the person remains ignorant -- thinks that he knows, and he knows not. And that is real ignorance: when you think you know and you don't know. The moment you start knowing that you don't know, the first step towards wisdom
