I realize that words are so often defined differently so as I'm re-reading the quote, it seems to be essential to follow his definitions to get his meaning. 

I think he's really just saying that happiness is rooted in being oneself, not in aquiring something outside self.  Obviously, life is easier with stuff that helps us with our needs, but it's our wants that we mistake for happiness, isn't it?

To me, longing is simply the quest to reach a desire that is possible that hasn't been manifest vs. desire being defined in that quote as trying to reach something that is impossible.  I was wondering if that was the essence of LOA.

This Enstein quote states it well....

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

A foolish desire to me would be me wanting to be a professional basketball player.  I'm 46 and can't jump but if my mind decides that this desire equals happiness then my mind will take me for a ride, won't it?  Doesn't the mind do that time and time again...isn't that really what "the pursuit of happiness" is?  A wild goose chase of the mind?

Anyone have an idea?

I've never looked into LOA but after browsing this forum, I wonder if this quote resembles LOA?

"Question – What is the difference between desire and longing?

Desire is desire for something that is outside you. Desire is objective. Longing is not objective. Longing is for that which wants to explode in you. It is inner, it is subjective. If a rose wants to become a lotus, it is a desire. But if the rose LONGS to become a rose, it is longing. If the seed wants to sprout and become a tree, it is a longing! It is perfectly in order. It is how it should be. But if a seed wants to become a butterfly, it is a desire.

Desire is absurd: longing is existential. Longing is perfectly beautiful: desire is dangerous. And the distinction is very delicate and one has to be very much alert. Longing is opening of the inner: desire is accumulation of the outer. Man desires money: man longs for meditation. Man desires power: man longs for purity. Man desires knowledge: man longs for awareness. Man desires the world: man longs for God.

That which is intrinsic to you is longing. Divert your energies from desire into longing. Desire distracts you from your Tao, from your Dharma, from your nature. Desire takes you astray. It allures you into fantasies which are not possible. It drives you crazy, because it gives you hopes which cannot be fulfilled, which are unfulfillable. Time, energy, life, will be wasted, and in the end only frustration in the hands and in the heart.

Longing is fulfillment. If you want to become a rich man, you are desiring. But if you want to become a sannyasin, it is a longing. Desiring depends on others: in longing there is no need to depend on anybody else. It is your own flowering. It is already there – just it needs the right soil and the right time It is waiting for the spring to come….

Hi,

If you think your desire is something beyond your human controllability or unreachable, then you are not in the scale of manifestation. But if you think your desire is so easy that you can reach attain it so easily and effortless, then the manifestation will take place.

Does this quote fit with what you mean?
