Don't these lineages also tell you the bliss and ecstasy is but a distraction and that you should not pursue it as the end goal?

- nprateem 3y agoYes, 100%. That's why I liked Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond where the author is clear about that. But I need to start from where I am. He says you hit these states and initially love them, but eventually become dissatisfied with them too, so you keep going deeper into pure consciousness, tranquility, etc. That seems like a healthy approach, not denying them but rather realising they aren't the ultimate end. But as I'm not there right now, I use them to fuel my enthusiasm, but don't expect them to be an end in themselves.
