The Grass grew, a thought came, a bug collapsed

When you get what you want,

When your desire gets fulfilled,

all that happens is that - you get relief from that desiring thought.

Nothing more. Everything else remains the same. Nothing changes fundamentally as such.

So all that we are looking for mostly is the relief from that pestering thought. That brings us peace.

The peace that we experience, is from the relief of that thought which had been given a lot of importance prior to its fulfilment.

How do you not give importance to the thought? You cannot.

If you are meant to have that thought, no force can stop that thought. It will appear. Because it was never "your" doing that the thought appeared to you. And chasing that thought is also not your doing.

You never did anything. Things happened. The grass grew, a thought came, a bug collapsed.

Understanding this brings peace. Whether you chase the thought, or sit quietly, who cares!?

The problem is not the thought. Its not even in the chasing. Infact there is no problem. Do whatever the hell you want. There is nothing to lose, nothing to gain.
