Are desires wrong?
Your desires are your life. Your desires are your life. Listen, it’s your desires which infuse life into you and it’s your desires which infuse energy into you. Same way, conflicts in your desires, brings tiredness in you. Contradictions in your desires, brings boredom in you. Confusions in your desires, bring frustration in you.
Please understand; your desires are your life. Conflict in your desires, bring confusion in you. Conflict in your desires, bring tiredness in you. Confusions in your desires bring frustration in you. Its contradiction in your desires, bring boredom in you.
Actually, if your desire is pure, every breath you inhale and exhale will make that desire into reality. When your desires have conflict, confusion and contradiction, every breadth brings tiredness, boredom, frustration in you. Every breadth is like a air blower into balloon. Your desires are the shape of the balloon. If the shape of the balloon is Tom and Jerry, when you blow the air, you will have Tom and Jerry; conflict... constant conflict. If the shape of the balloon is just round, when you blow the air into that balloon you will have a round balloon. The shape of the balloon is tall, when you blow the air into it, you will see, tall balloon. Your breath infuses energy into your desire. So, the one and only thing you need to do in your life is not giving up desire, but removing the conflicts, confusions, contradictions in your desires.
Please understand, renunciation is not giving up your desires. It is giving up conflicts, contradictions, confusion in your desire. One of the biggest mess up happened in the field of spirituality is wrong understanding. Renunciation means giving up desires, that’s the worst understanding happened or misunderstanding happened in the spiritual field.
Raga means attachment, Araga means detachment, Viraga means renouncing the conflicts, confusion and complications of desires. You need Viraga–Vairagya, Viraga becomes Vairagya. Please understand, renouncing desires is not what we want. Renouncing the complications, contradictions, confusions is all we want. Renouncing complications, confusions and contradictions; that’s all we need. That’s all we need.
