Is It Okay to Want God and the World?

There’s a secret longing many seekers carry:

“I want Truth…

but I also want a beautiful relationship.”

“I want to dissolve the ego…

but I also want success, abundance, comfort.”

“I want God…

but I also want to enjoy this life fully.”

And then comes the guilt.

The mind whispers:

“You’re not serious enough.”

“A real seeker must renounce everything.”

“You can’t have both God and the world.”

Let me say this gently:

You are allowed to want both.

You’re just confused about what ‘both’ really is.

Desire Is Not the Problem

Desire is not evil.

It is movement.

It is energy.

It is life expressing itself through form.

Even the desire for awakening

is still a desire.

Even devotion to God

is full of longing.

The problem is not desire—

the problem is identification.

When you believe you are the one

who needs to fulfill these desires to be whole,

you suffer.

But when you see clearly—

desires may still arise,

but they no longer bind.

You no longer chase.

You no longer cling.

You simply witness.

God Is Not Separate from Life

We imagine that God is one thing,

and the world is another.

But what if they are the same?

What if the taste of a ripe mango,

the touch of your child’s hand,

the tears during a beautiful song—

are all God in form?

Why divide?

Why split experience into “spiritual” and “worldly”?

The ancient sages didn’t.

To them, the Rasa of life

was sacred.

The play of form was not a distraction—

it was Leela: divine play.

The only problem is forgetfulness.

Not the world.

You Don’t Need to Renounce — You Need to Wake Up

I’m not here to ask you to give up anything.

Not your family.

Not your desires.

Not your ambitions.

I’m only asking you to see clearly:

Who is the one that wants?

Is it the real You?

Or a bundle of habits, memories, projections?

Go to the root.

And you’ll see—

You don’t need to reject the world.

You only need to stop misidentifying with the one who owns it.

Then the world becomes light.

Desires become transparent.

And God is found in everything—

not in spite of it.

Love What Appears Without Losing What Is

It’s okay to fall in love.

To want beauty.

To build, create, share, and dance.

Just don’t lose your Self in the dance.

Don’t forget the silent Witness

that remains unmoved

even as the waves rise and fall.

You can be fully alive

without being fully entangled.

This is not detachment through denial.

It is detachment through clarity.

It is the freedom to enjoy…

without the fear of loss.

Because you know

you are not the experiencer—

you are the space in which all experience happens.

Wanting God Is the World’s Deepest Desire

Here’s the secret:

Everything you think you want from the world

is actually a disguised longing for God.

The success you crave?

It’s a longing to feel whole.

The love you chase?

A longing to dissolve into union.

The peace you seek?

A longing to return to your natural state.

So don’t be ashamed of your desires.

Follow them to their root.

And you will find…

not the object,

but the Silence that was always waiting underneath.

Let the Two Become One

So yes, dear one—

You can want God and the world.

You can walk barefoot through temples

and run through fields with joy.

You can chant the holy name

and still laugh at silly jokes.

You can bow in devotion

and still want to leave a mark.

Because when awakening truly matures,

you stop dividing.

You stop pretending.

You stop choosing between “this” and “that.”

And everything is seen

as God,

as Love,

as You.
