Get rid of concepts
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Whatever you want, desire or worship, can only be concepts. Have you heard what is conceptual existence and what is existence prior to concepts? Many people have come here purely for spiritual purposes and they have professed great love for me. Subsequently some good fortune happens to them and they prosper and in their prosperity they have no time to come here. All the earlier love is where? This is the province of maya. A person comes with the sincere intention of spiritual search, then this maya shows him a little bit of temptation and off he goes.
You will continue coming here as long as the concepts remain; once you go beyond concepts there will be no need to come here.
