A monk asks: "Is there anything more miraculous than the wonders of nature?" The master answers: "Yes, your awareness of the wonders of nature."-(Buddhist saying)
This illustrates the imbalance of the Inward and Outward Paths in Traditional Religion, which includes Christianity. Only the desire-free Soul-State of the Inward Path is here spoken of, or defined, and real life is blocked in this Great Spiritual Blockade.
We do not reach Godhood this way, we reach Godhood by evolving in the material and supermaterial world to Godhood. Buddha's nirvana is a hint, however blissful, of desire supremely fulfilled (not denied) when Godhood is evolved to in nature. Nirvana is artificially brought about by blocking not fulfilling all desires.
To be sure, sacred rather than profane evolution has to be followed, which means refining desire, civilizing the beast, but this is not mean blocking all life and desire.
