What is desire? A search of happiness in future. A concept that mind will be happy sometime when something will happen.Or wanting a good experience to come back to you.You may want a person, an object or a situation, it doesn't really matter.After all you are craving for an object of sense. An object which is supposed to raise few goody emotions in your mind and make your life so called happy. Look back once and see how many times have you desired something immensely? You run after an object which seems to be promising. But has anything ever completed its promise? If you get the thing and your mind becomes happy and peaceful for a moment or may be for a little longer time. What happens then? The mind again starts its wheel of craving and starts asking for something else. After every desire you are the same. If you see closely many botheration in your life right now are because of some fulfilled desires of the past. You wanted to get a girlfriend and now you want to get rid of your relationship.Feverish mind can never experience happiness because its stuck with a thing. Desires don't let us be what we are and don't let us do what we really want. They bind the mind, restrict its vastness and don't allow intution to happen. In feverishness we forget all the things we have. We stop enjoying this present moment, everything which divine is offering us. The learning stops and blossoming stops. Ask yourself do you really want it? What will change in your life if you have it? Do you want to live a life craving for things one after another. When will you get time to love this nature my dear?
And if we are stuck with a craving even this beautiful knowledge of liberation becomes a crutch for us. Because desires have made you handicapped. Unable to walk and see the beauties this universe has to offer you!
Stop and see what is that which you really want? Desire something so that no other desires need to arise after its fulfillment.
"Its fine if you have desires but don't let desires have you" -sri sri.
Jai Guru Dev! :)
