Here I'm reminded of Ramana Maharshi's teachings. He talked about how "identifying with the body creates a sense of separateness" and fuels cravings for external fulfillment. In the context of addiction, by recognizing everything--including the body-- as "God’s form," we break the illusion of separation. One could say that true fulfillment comes from realizing our oneness with everything, including the divine essence within and around us. Thank you for this beautifully written and wisdom-filled piece, dear Janaka. 🌻
