In the Bible we have a fascinating scene in which Christ finally becomes

what He is. This is called the "Temptation of Christ," and there is a

strangely similar story in the scriptures surrounding Buddha as well as

other Christ-lights. What is important to note are two things: The scene is

entirely about Christ's renunciation. It is a test of His Renunciation and

he ends up having to renounce every worldly pleasure before he passes to the

highest state. But the pleasures are not renounced only in theory: They are

actually offered to Him. The same scene took place before Buddha: He saw the

entire creation bowing down before Him, and then He renounced it.

 

So the second fascinating point is that the Renunciate attracts everything,

and can actually attain any worldly thing. Your temptations increase as you

becomes a renunciate, because one becomes more attractive to all of nature.

You become a magnet for Nature. And because you are no longer in Nature's

thrall, Nature becomes your thrall. This is a profound metaphysical truth,

and fascinating to watch.
