Are You Chasing Enlightenment, or Escaping Intimacy with Life?
Dissecting detachment, obsession, and the beauty of raw presence.
It’s easy to fall in love with transcendence.
To pursue higher states.
To quote the sages.
To sit for hours in silence.
To seek the “beyond,” the “pure,” the “untouched.”
But here’s the question we rarely stop to ask:
Are you chasing enlightenment or are you escaping intimacy with life?
Because the path upward is noble,
but not if it makes you float above your own humanness.
Not if it turns your search for light
into a refusal to feel.
