Spiritual Quotes On desire

When is it considered a true desire of moksha (ultimate liberation)? When it remains a constant stream. But here, in one direction there is a desire for moksha and in the other direction, there are so many desires for worldly things. This creates a “plus-minus” effect and takes away the main desire [for liberation]. A desire must be constant in just one direction, only then will it be realized.

By having the desire for moksha (ultimate liberation), all other desires simply end up dissolving!

Whenever the memory of something [a fault or transgression] comes to mind, do pratikraman (repentance coupled with asking for forgiveness) for it. Whenever a desire arises, do pratyakhyan (avowal to not repeat the mistake) for it.

If you desire liberation, then for the course of one lifetime, even if your body is cut into pieces, still accept it. The moment the firm resolve takes place that, ‘Even if this body is chopped into pieces, I will still not stray away from the path of moksha (liberation),’ from that very point, never-ending bliss will arise within. See what happens after letting this body go with the flow for one lifetime.
