Desires.. major conflict for the spiritual practitioners to understand this issue. Most of the time we confuse desire with the intention and then try to justify that our desire is actually our intention.
But 'Desire' actually is the one which always has some feverishness with it and we keep on thinking about that all the time, because we heard that the more intense your desire the more are the chances that it will get fulfilled. So the bottom line is : We want our desires to be always fulfilled.
Poor wants more money, rich person wants to become the richest in the world, players wants to become the best player, student wants to become the best student with highest marks and accolades but when one desire is filled then another arises.. Starting from the childhood through adulthood till the end of the life, man is always in this convulsive and endless ring of desires where no end and no start is seen...
But what does actually happen when we have desire rather than an intention?
Our desires promises fulfillment and when one is filled another arise. so it is an endless chain..
It brings grief and misery to our lives but not the contentment.. ))
Fulfillment can happen only when we are filled with love and when we are in that plane of love where only divinity lives then all other desires disappear. That state brings true joy.. !
"Na Ramate, Notsahi Bhavati"
When we don't get lost in any desire and when we get something but don't get excited even after attaining it then that state is termed as the blissful state; excitement brings anxiety and throws us off the balance.
Thus the true yearn should be only for the Divine love and that also without feverishness.
I have also realized this state of contentment.
When i was not having time i used to complaint that i don't have time then what can i do for others or for personal amusement also. But then i got time, almost one full year and that also to do nothing.. then i was thinking that what if i should get a job or get into college. then got the job and college too. Couldn't do both, then another desire : what if i should go to school only. Had an accident, lost my car and then forced to go for school only. another desire: what if i should be done with study and have some time... to go and wander.. !! Done with study almost 3 semester before it was tentative to end... Didn't get admit for the next class so had free time. Now, what if i go to India.. Finally some occasion came and went there too.. and this endless series of desires..
Never was happy until i realized that i have made my life conditional so better is to live without conditions. Set aims, follow certain rules to achieve them, but don't get agitated even if you don't fulfill them. Put 100% which is most important and do level best to help others.
I am really telling you a lot of change has happened... !!!
All Grace is of Guruji..
Love !!
