Sometime, people mix up religious way-seeking
mind and worldly desires. They think they are-- there is-- are seeking for a
truth or a religious truth, but actually they are seeking for the worldly
desires by name of religion. The religious sentiment is quite different from
worldly desires. By “worldly desires” I mean to seek for-- to seek for fame or
profit. To seek for fame or profit, this kind of desire is very much like, in
some point, religious desires. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-04-22-A found onshunryusuzuki.com.
