Desire, Anger and Fear are to be eradicated while doing Karma Yoga. Kama (pleasure) is a major problem that
affects Life and has to be removed from your thoughts. Cultivate good thoughts
and appreciate every day the nature’s beauty around you. Unethical desires alone are to be condemned.
May you encourage only healthy desires. Three organs in the body generate
desires. Sense organ gets tempted and is the founder member. Mind becomes the next member nourishing the Kama. The next is Buddhi, which justifies unethical
desires. Sense organs initiate the desire. Control sense organs by avoiding
temptations. Say no to drugs, no to liquor, cigarette etc. Once you take to
them thereafter coming out is difficult. Sense control is the best method of
mastering Kama. Ethical Kama will become non-binding desires. You will feel
complete fulfillment.
Only
when you have desires, you will be born again. Man has desires. He is an extrovert.
Be an introvert, discover yourself, and seek the truth.
Human – Desire = God.
A quotation comes to my mind when I think
about desire. I believe this statement to be true.
“A Person, who has wants, Worships
A person, who has no wants, is worshipped”
Note: Wants = Desires
No wants = No desires or Desireless
Every human being has a bundle of desires (Vasanas). Vasanas are unfulfilled
desires. You merely satisfy your desires, as you grow older. Still you will
have a bundle of desires and there is no end to it. You have to move from
selfish desires to unselfish desires and finally selfless desires in order to
move to something higher. When desires are exhausted, you merge with the higher
truth. For example, the river merges
with the ocean. Ocean says the river is in me and I am also in the river. What
you see is Individuality of the river to the totality of the ocean. You are
able to relate to one and all.
Every human being can make a life for
himself. All you need is to be determined and put in your efforts to reach the
goal (spiritual goal). The only goal
a human being has in life is to get back to his original state.
Be blissful
