Desire?

In Vedic philosophy, the subtlest field of the mind is called "ritambhara pragyam." It is the field of self-luminous intuition, where every desire arises as the seed of its own fulfillment.

If the meditator witnesses the desire arise at that finest mental level, tasting its essence, then the experience desired is complete without requiring any object of the senses, for the object is already contained within the subject.

Understanding this, how could we see desire as a barrier to God? Desire is God in the form of fire. Honor your desire, embrace your desire, merge with your divine burning. Then your desire is fulfilled, without dividing the unity of the Self.
