DESIRES






On leaving desire for the perishable, the imperishable "tattva" (essence, divinity) is realized. 

*** *** *** ***

This should happen and this should not happen - all suffering is in this itself. 

*** *** *** *** 

May I be honored and respected, this desire itself has dishonored us. 

*** *** *** ***

Holding on to desire for anything is the cause of our impoverishment. The one who desires to take, remains ever poor. 

*** *** *** ***

The desire for the perishable is the impurity of the mind-intellect. 

*** *** *** ***

Man is not to renounce duty, rather he has to renounce desire. 

*** *** *** ***

Things do not enslave a man, it is desire for those things that make him a slave. 

*** *** *** ***

If you desire peace, then give up desires. 

*** *** *** ***

The desire to take anything at all, will cause horrendous pain. 

*** *** *** ***

He who has desires, will most definitely have to become dependent on something or the other. 

*** *** *** ***

To desire pleasure for your self is a demoniac tendency. 

*** *** *** ***

Just as you get worldly sorrows without desiring them, similarly you also get worldly pleasures without desiring it. Therefore an aspirant should never desire worldly pleasures. 

*** *** *** ***

Desire for pleasures and hoarding are of no use besides causing us to sin. Therefore this desire should be forsaken. 

*** *** *** ***

On desiring pleasure and hoarding for himself, man falls below even animals. Whereas on giving up desires, he rises above even the "devatas" (demigods)

*** *** *** ***

That which is ours, we will surely get; no one else can take that thing. Therefore we must do our duty, not desiring anything. 

*** *** *** ***

Things must get done, as I say – as long as this desire remains, till then, there cannot be peace. 

*** *** *** ***

Though being sensible, man desires those things that have originated and later destroyed. This is such a surprising thing. 

*** *** *** ***

On accepting that you are situated in the body, the desire for perishable arises and on desiring, one becomes firmly situated in the body. 

*** *** *** ***

On desiring, you get few things and don't get few other things; but on not desiring, you get everything.
