DESIRES

DESIRES

Th desires are those thoughts which are capable of making the psychosomatic instrument to act either in the form of thinking or outer bodily actions.

Don't fight with Desires (Don't even think of trying to control them)

Just be aware of them or understand that they are desires.

[Although this is also a desire but helpful in knowing other desires]

Let me try to expand this desire:

It is said that "A desire arose in God and the creation happened instantly."

Then a desire arose in Him "To experience His creation."

But for experiencing the creation a proper instrument is required which HE was lacking.

Hence a further desire "To have an instrument for experiencing His creation" arose in Him.

Hence various instruments in different forms appeared into the creation.

HE evaluated all the instruments of His creation and found the human instrument (body) best for experiencing the creation.

In this human body different types/forms of desires go on appearing (happening) without any effort just like the desires which arose in God.

And with the help of these desires in fact the God is experiencing His own creations.

The question arises now that if the God could not control his desires then how can we ?

Hence don't fight or try to control them.

It is a total waste of energy.

Just understand them or try to become aware of them, but is possible only after they have come into picture. That is all.

Perhaps in this way they will not obstruct the natural flow of life / consciousness.

We must keep in mind following facts related to desire:

1. Non of the desires is ours.

2. They are just subtle expressions ( in the form of reactions) of life expressed in response to outer/inner circumstances surrounding it.

3. They are simply the interpretations of the impulses produced in the body in response to circumstances (reactions) surrounding it and they arise on their own and subside/vanish on their own whether they are translated into actions or not.

4. Their sustainability/nuisance depends on our fighting (resistance/trying to control) with them. If they sustain/continue they consume our vital energy till they continue.

4. If we can remain neutral to their arousal they vanish on their own without causing any harm (without consuming our energy) and their effects fade away within no time.

5. Among all desires the desire/thought "TO BE KNOWN" can be labeled as mother of all non-essential desires/thoughts.
