This is one way of looking at it. I personally prefer another. Desire is never an enemy of itself. The desire to meditate is not an enemy, is it? Remorse is the germ of feeling that begets restitution. Doubt cracks open the shell of arrogance.. So many rules and hard-line-boxes seem to be more of a hindrance than a help, in my view at least. And everything has another facet and another way of contributing to the glory of all that is. You just have to disconnect from the idea of one teaching about anything.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I had very lengthy conversation about this with a friend. Some of it does seem contradictory when we look at this in everyday situation context and Buddha was putting this in the context of meditation practice during the meditation. And, for everyday context he talked about things arising out of wholesome mind as facilitators and those arising out of unwholesome mind as barriers to mind purification (chitta pariyoudapana). Thanks for enriching with different perspective my friend. 🧘🏼♂️🧘🏼♀️
