Desiring Comfort

When the desire for comfort arises it’s because the mind is in bondage to that particular desire. When this is seen the desire of needing to be comforted falls away…

You will never find the comfort you’re seeking if you’re in bondage to the desire of that comfort. Comfort is something that's already within you, but because of the way your mind is conditioned, you get bound up in the desire that comfort is something outside of you. This bondage makes the desired comfort you’re seeking impossible to grasp. This is also the reason you constantly desire comfort from the outside. Until this is seen you will remain bound to the desired thought of comfort in the next thing reached for. Alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex, social status, programs, therapy, self help books, god, and on and on, these are proof you’re in bondage. I can't stress this enough as this bondage has to be seen if you are to experience true comfort in your life.

It's impossible to think your way to comfort, what does have to happen if comfort is to be experienced is there has to be an understanding of why you’re uncomfortable; that you seek comfort is because of the inability to just be. When the desire for comfort arises the bondage to the desire begins; this is a vicious cycle that's very difficult to break free from. Comfort isn't something attained or achieved so it's in doing less that you’re comforted. To many people get lost in trying to attain comfort, but it's something that's already within; the binding desire about attaining comfort needs to be discarded so you can see this. This is not easy to grasp, but I write pointers so the bondage of desiring comfort can be seen for the fallacy that it is…
