If cravings and desires are the gravitational chains that bind you to dirty inevitabilities, then discipline and audacity are the jets that allow you to soar into the untouched sky.

  1. Profound… and intriguing… and terribly distracting by being both. Thanks alot! Lol… Guess it’s time to practice some of that discipline if I am to avoid getting lost in exploring this thought, no matter how much I desire to do so… 🙂

    1. Thanks! Nah it’s ok, sometimes you gotta make yourself sick of what you crave in order to break free of it, but sometimes it’s just a black hole…Either way, it all comes out ok in the end! 🙂

    1. No problem! Thanks for the interest! Comfort is good if you need a break to recover, but can quickly become a trap where you stagnate. Good luck! 🙂

  3. There can be another point of view. If cravings and desires are the wind used to fly a kite, then discipline and audacity are the thread tethering it to the ground and helping the kite to soar higher and higher.

    1. Good point, I like it! Advanced spiritual practices use negative emotions like fear or anger to push the aspirant even further. To the true master, everything is assessed simply as a tool or a trap. Ravenna is a great example.
