Lust for Result
• Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will.
• Do that, and no other shall say nay.
• For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
• The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two; nay, are none!
(The Book of the law 1:42-45)
'pure will' = the true expression of the Nature, the proper or inherent motion of the matter, concerned.
It is unnatural to aim at any goal. One is not to do Yoga, etc., in order to get Samadhi, like a schoolboy or a shopkeeper; but for its own sake, like an artist.
"Unassuaged" means "its edge taken off by" or "dulled by". The pure student does not think of the result of the examination.
Purpose takes the edge off pure will; for it implies conscious thought, which should not replace what Nature intends.
And I laid my head against the Head of the Swan, and laughed, saying: Is there not joy ineffable in this aimless winging? Is there not weariness and impatience for who would attain to some goal?
