What Is the Nature of Addictions?
one will be still aware about the process that is taking place in his body-mind. His outer appearance will be like he is on drugs, because he can’t escape the nature of the physiological process, but deep down he remains aware, he observes his state, the watcher is there.
What about taking drugs for years? He will become addicted and now the receptors of the nerve cells of this guru’s brain will be heavily damaged. He can’t escape that. His cells will become the most receptive for that particular drug. They will adapt. So what will happen with his enlightenment than? For that one we’ll have to ask an addicted enlighten man on drugs, if there is one.
Finally, it seems to me that in a one way or another, we are, for sure, addicted to something, even when we think that we are not. The question, whether is possible or not to stay alive, without any addictions, stays open for now.
