Today, another mind charm has been revealed. Infatuation.
Infatuation is perhaps one of the most deceitful notions in the mind. When it is operating, you are completely lost inside its world and its charming delusions. It is probably more dangerous than even malice. Malice does not feel good and there is an effort to overcome it. However, infatuation floods the mind with vivid and awesome possibilities and can feel really wonderful. However, the wonder is one of fantasy and not reality.
But because of this magical fantasy, you get caught in it and enjoy being there. You do not even realize that you have been caught in a fantasy. This foe is especially dangerous. Because it is so easy to get caught within its charms. Infatuation is the result of getting caught up in fantastical notions about an object of perception. It is not real. It does not last. It is probably what keeps us caught in the grip of the mind. Like a drug, it is extremely addictive and difficult to give up. Infatuation can be with regard to a person, a lover, an idea. Love at first sight is infatuation. It is the mind conjuring up fantastical notions.
The entire challenge of our life lies in remaining awake. At every moment.
Caught up in false notions, we get lost inside a complex illusion.
Remain awake to who you are. This is all that is needed.
