He lost something, and he is happy without any limits a
sense of pure joy pervading his mind. Important thing is there is no effort
inside to keep that "state of joyfulness" permanent. The mind has no desire to
live in that state for the rest of life. Only thing he can see is, he lost
something NOT accumulated. He don’t want to analyze it further, he don’t want
to keep it. That tranquility, that sense of pure joy is always there on the
corner. The obstacles between you and that pure joy is your desire to grab it,
formulate it so that you can come to it whenever you want, your desire to
control it, your effort to possess it these are real obstacles. You have
enjoyed possessing material things, now you want to apply same here as well.
This constant effort and struggle to live in that blissful state permanently, makes life miserable.
What he lost is his desire to be secure financially. When you have a desire,
thought makes you run after that desire. It projects future, and tells you if
you do this you can fulfill your desire. When you run after something, you use
thought more and more. That is how it survives inside yourself. If you don’t
desire anything can thought have a strong hold on you? The utmost important
thing for thought is its own survival, not your wellbeing. Intelligence might
be something which we need use, to get things that are needed NOT thought.
