Wisdom
Desirelessness is wisdom. The two are not different; they are the same. Desirelessness is refraining from turning the mind towards any object. Wisdom means the appearance of no object. In other words, not seeking what is other than the Self is detachment or desirelessness; not leaving the Self is wisdom.
~ Sri Ramana Maharshi . Who Am I (26)
Pure being
When established in Pure Being, one does not stray from it anymore.
However, before one’s status has ripened to perfect maturity, one may have occasional lapses; but what has once been realized will, as it were, draw one back to itself. At this stage there is oscillation between two directions; yet it is a marvelous state, not one of ignorance.
The next stage is bhava; one enters and leaves it alternately, becoming immersed, and then floating once more on the surface.
Going still further, even this state passes, and one becomes absolutely inert like a stone. If one has not arrived at this rock-like inertness, and is still experiencing ecstatic fervor with its ups and
downs, - this is not a perfect, although a supernormal state. It is like being alternately in a cool room and going outside into the heat.
Then comes Perfection, complete and final immersion. When this has taken place, He who has achieved it, is still seen to move and act as you do, but actually He neither goes anywhere, nor eats, nor does he perceive anything.
- Anandamayi Ma
