The third account

is that search creates an object to be found

and this can be the subtlest and most misleading trap.

As you start a search you conceptualize

what it is that you are searching for.

Since the nature of maya, of illusion,

is that whatever you think, so it becomes.

Whatever you think the goal to be, you will attain it.

There is no doubt about this: as you think so it becomes.

So because of your search you will create and then attain

that which you think you are searching for!

Any heaven or high spiritual state that you long to attain

you will attain after you conceptualize and create it.

Then you will rest satisfied in this trap

thinking that you have attained your “heaven.”

This is pie-in-the-sky freedom custom made for you

out of your very own thought and conditioning

of what the Ultimate is.
