God-Communion & True Renunciation
The Primal Enjoyment
“God-Communion is the primary bodily pleasure. It is simply that you have not realized it as such, and, therefore, you conceive of God-Communion as self limiting and ascetic. You think you will engage some form of asceticism a little bit at a time and without practicing fiercely, and that eventually, as a result, you will realize God. You tend to feel that God-Realization is a matter of stripping yourselves of attachments, relations, and enjoyments, rather then giving up to God. However, in truth God-Communion has nothing to do with such self-denial. It is a matter of outshining attachments, relations, and enjoyments through Communion with the Primal enjoyment. If you are already in a condition of spiritual, bodily enjoyment, then all manifest enjoyments become superficial, ordinary, conventional processes that are neither overwhelming nor binding“.

Truth Realization
God, the Self, is my Hearts Desire
“Truth is the great Realization of life. When you become truly sympathetic to it, nothing in your life can ever ultimately satisfy you. But now you are still involved in the games of life. They fascinate you in one or another way, and you do not yet feel that you have found the Truth.
The Realization of Truth is an emotional matter, you see. The discovery is an emotional one, the change is an emotional one. You are chronically involved in a process of emotional dissociation, emotional separation, self-isolation through the mechanism of feeling, which is the master or controller of the body. There is even a gland -- the thymus gland in the chest, that is related to this feeling dimension. It is Life-negative by tendency. In other words, it is being suppressed, quite automatically, in people in general, because they are not exercising emotionally.
You are tending to be Life-negative as a matter of course. You think that you can be emotionally happy only when you are involved with relatively pleasurable things. No, having discovered this true emotion, you must practice it all the time -- with a will, because you have no tendency to practice it at all! Rather, by tendency, you are completely wedded to this frightening, negative disposition. You are not surrendering emotionally to everything -- that is, to God.
To live in the disposition of surrender is just as logical as to live the way you do now. The difference is that the way you are now living is destroying you.
I, on the other hand, have no capacity except to embrace my Heart's desire in every moment. Some people consider this self-indulgent, but to me it is obvious that one must always embrace the very thing one desires from the Heart! Otherwise existence has no significance whatsoever and is completely untrue. That is why I am not inclined toward the program of seeking for God. One cannot approach God gradually or realize God eventually. The Realization of God does not depend on any event in space-time, or in the body-mind. It could not be so. Thus, I have never been moved by any path of seeking for God. I have been moved by God to do all sorts of things. But in relation to this matter of God, it has always been instantly obvious to me that God is Present. Obvious, Infinite, Eternal, Absolute, Transcendental, All-Pervading Energy, the Self, the Truth of me and of everything. Even in consciousness, God is perfectly evident in all of That is every moment. God is my heart's desire“.
