Bene Gesserit & Zen

Bene Gessrit say:

I will not fear
Fear is the mindkiller,
Fear is the little death
That brings total Oblivion
I will permit my fear to pass
Over me and through me
And where it has gone
I will turn the inner eye
Nothing will be there
Only I will remain.

The same could be said of desire. And its a bitch because the oblivion that it brings can be that of pleasure. How do you maintain when people want your desire, but they want your desire to mesh with theirs. If I exert discipline, then my desire is set to one side. My mind is able to focus on what should simply be done. What is in front of me.

So if I say (with more brevity):

I will not desire
Desire is the mindkiller,
I will permit my desire to pass
Over me and through me
And where it has gone
Nothing will be there
Only I will remain.

Does this work, does this make sense. How would this affect the people around me. Those I love? I'm afraid of this step. But it is the necessary step to enlightenment.
