Our attempts to change our environment have one major purpose: to make us like or even love ‘what is.’ Our responses are comfortable for us if they consist of a big YES towards ‘what is’ and our responses feel uncomfortable if they contain an emotional ‘No’ towards ‘what is.’ A ‘Yes’ is identical to ‘liking’.
It feels comfortable to like something, such as our environment, and it feels uncomfortable to dislike something. This ‘Yes’, this liking of ‘what is’ can increase to a YES that is independent or ‘unconditional’, not depending on any condition, it has become unconditional love, or ‘true love.’ In Tantra, the energies of pleasure are naturally likeable, and they can carry the Yes (liking pleasure) to a big YES, an awareness of unconditional joy or love.
