It is curious how all of this is also shown in St. John of the Cross’s writings (Ascent of Mount Carmel, and his poetry). I guess any true spiritual “way” must acknowledge the need for detachment together with the need for attachment, contradictory as it might look. “In order to possess I must go through the way of dispossession…” and so on.

Edit: not trying to compare or enter into a discussion, just sharing what I do know.

The reading has been quite interesting, despite my not shating the buddhist view of the world. Thanks to whomever posted it.
