No Name, No Form
Excerpt from NO NAME, NO FORM
GURURAJ ANANDA YOGI: To reach the highest form of meditation is not the destruction of the senses. The senses will remain. But by reaching that higher stage, the senses will be guided differently. They will have a totally different perspective. And what this will take away from you is the craving, the mother of all miseries.
People suffer in this world because of cravings. There are many objects of craving, and it does not necessarily mean food. You might crave a lobster dinner or chicken or turkey or pork chops or whatever. But craving has so many other forms. You crave for wealth, you crave for relationships, you crave for this, that, and the other. Everything is based upon craving. And these cravings are accentuated by the senses and their counterparts. So you lose the craving. You lose lust, for example, which is also a craving. You crave what you want to do. But you can do the same thing without craving. Then you know that you have reached a step higher.
You can make sensual love, have sensual love with your beloved, and the act would seem the same in divine love. And yet it is the same act. One is filled with craving, animal passion. The other is also filled with passion, but divine passion, where you want to merge with the object, with the beloved, so that the object and the subject become one. That is divine love beyond craving.
