Detachment - Part 8 ("Desires Beget Desires")



"Unrest is the omnipresent accompaniment of earthly pursuits, and anyone who has lived a few years into adulthood and is therefore capable of rudimentary reflection on the human situation knows well from experience that nothing fully satisfies. Soon after even peak experiences one begins to feel the inner gnawing emptiness... Because spirit as spirit opens to the infinite, it can be satisfied only in the infinite. All else leaves it incomplete and desiring more... They whet the appetite as crumbs do the famished person."
