Happiness of Being Shines Through

A man asks if we can redirect desires for relationships, substances and wealth into longing for the infinite, or if it’s purely grace. Rupert says that the finite mind thinks it’s seeking the infinite, but really the infinite is drawing the finite – that’s grace. He explains that desires come from a sense of lack, but when you get what you want, it’s not the object that’s satisfying – it’s the happiness of your own being shining through, which you mistakenly project onto the object.
