The fire of desire, burning clean when nothing is clung to.
This gate burns with desire, feeling reaching for experience after experience. Its shadow clings, mistaking each flame for the fire's purpose. Its gift is lightness: desiring fully while holding outcomes loosely, warmth without attachment.
The practice is to let desire burn without either feeding it into fever or smothering it in shame. Feelings are fires that clarify when watched. Desire fully felt and released becomes celebration of intensity itself, and its consummation is rapture, burning with nothing left to burn for.
