Hi my friend ... heres food for thought?
Ashtavakra Samhita as it is sometimes called, is a very ancient Sanskrit text.
first they were stories told by tribal holders of knowledge and long before written language so the translation is difficult for me to give the full meaning of some of it myself.
Ashtavakra said:
Rare indeed, my son, is the lucky man whose observation of the world’s behavior has led to the extinction of his thirst for living, thirst for pleasure, and thirst for knowledge.
Is he not a guru who, endowed with dispassion and equanimity, achieves full knowledge of the nature of consciousness, and leads others out of samsara?
If you would just see the transformations of the elements as nothing more than the elements, then you would immediately be freed from all bonds and established in your own nature.
One’s desires are samsara.
