The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 5656

Upon hearing Nanako's desire to try again, Master Geoffrey didn't give it much thought. He simply nodded and said, "If you wish to enter the realm of the unconscious, the most secure path is to sever your attachments and desires."

Nanako fell silent for a moment and whispered, "But if I sever my attachments and desires, what purpose is there in living?"

Without hesitation, Master Geoffrey responded, "Only by severing attachments and desires can one have a chance at attaining enlightenment and ultimately save all sentient beings."

Nanako shook her head and spoke earnestly, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but isn't the pursuit of enlightenment itself a form of attachment and desire? Isn't the single-minded goal of saving all sentient beings just another manifestation of attachment and desire? While saving others is noble, not everyone is dissatisfied with their current circumstances. If someone is living a happy and content life, why should they need someone else to save them?"

She continued, "Furthermore, I have my own family and loved ones. I cannot simply cast them aside. Even if I could forget about them completely, if my focus is solely on attaining enlightenment, then the pursuit of enlightenment becomes yet another desire. When I delve into my consciousness and take the leap, it is for the sake of enlightenment. But then I must deceive either myself or my consciousness, convincing it that I have no desires or wants. Isn't that a form of deception?"
