The sage observes.........
.......When you demand nothing of the world, nor of God, when you want nothing,
seek nothing, expect nothing, then the Supreme State will come to you uninvited and unexpected.
However if you stop demanding anything from the world, or from God, ..........if you stop wanting anything, stop seeking, stop expecting anything, ...............IN the hope that the Supreme State will arrive, ............you know, like one eye clocked open, checking out, whether it is happening etc, etc, you are still demanding, .............you are still wanting, you are still seeking, you are still expecting.
Basically, "you" cannot, help demanding, whether from the world or from your conceived God.
"You" cannot help seeking, whether it is for your mother's nipple when you were an infant, ..........or as you grew up, seeking a self-fulfilling relationship, dollar bills, peace of mind, or enlightenment or whatever aflames your bushel.
"You" cannot help expecting.
For the instinct of demanding, of seeking, of expecting, is exactly what the "you" or the "me" is.
That is the very entitification.
Hoping, expecting, seeking ways and means and thus the relevant Gurus, ........for the "me" not to follow its nature, ...........is itself an oxy-moron .
And is just not possible.
Or is as much possible as you lifting your self by your boot-straps.
Or motivating a Boxer puppy to undertake 12 Step Change your Personality, course and become a Great Dane.
The "me-entity" is just that........the instinct to seek to demand, to want, to expect.
....... to be insecure.
And thus sage's "demanding nothing, seeking nothing, expecting nothing" can only be equated to the notional erasure of the "me-entity".
For a "me" cannot achieve the state of "demanding nothing, seeking nothing, expecting nothing".
Why not?
A "me" in moving from a "demanding, seeking, expecting" state .........to.......... the state of "demanding nothing, seeking nothing, expecting nothing", ..................will need to SEEK THIS very movement, this very becoming.
And thus more subtle, ..............round and round the mulberry bush games.
The ending of the rounding around a mulberry bush cannot be brought about.
It can only happen, non-volitionally, acausally.
So till it happens, play on, yearn on, whether it is for profound stuff or profane stuff.
Totally and completely.
To full completion.
With no guilt whatsoever.
Or, if guilt is your game, play that game too, to the hilt.
Till the moment, when ALL yearnings have ceased.
ALL.
And then the Supreme State does not arrive uninvited, unexpected.
There is no "one" left to notice it's absence or it's presence.
