The Innate Longing for Expansion

This chapter explores the intrinsic nature of longing and aspiration in all living beings, focusing on the human desire for limitless growth and constant pursuit of boundlessness. It discusses how this longing is often misconstrued as ambition due to fear of suffering, emphasizing that it is fundamental for humans to always seek growth. The role of a guru in guiding individuals through uncertain paths and the analogy of trekking in the Himalayas is used to highlight the significance of following an experienced guide in navigating inner terrains.
