Quote
Lust is like a dark and dead tree. There is no point in fighting with the dead branches. Dig and see if there is any life left in the roots. Attend to the deep-rooted desires that might still be innocent.

If a shopkeeper gives you exactly what you ask for, you will just take it and come home. If he says, "I don't have exactly what you ask for. But I have a substitute." Then a conversation will start between you and him; an attachment will start forming between you and him; you will go to him again and again." Maya (Space-Time) is that shopkeeper. It never gives you exactly what you want.

You get the power to fulfill any desire instantly when you let go of all your desires. But you can’t let go of desires by fighting them. They drop automatically as you grow spiritually and know things as they are.

You try to make them your own. After too much struggle, when they become your own, they lose their essence. Then you like new things and the endless circle continues...

If your needs (not desires) are within your resources, you are blessed. If a blessed person has no friends, universe does not create situations in which he would need a friend.

Spiritual growth is like physical growth in reverse: First you ask this and that from God like a child. When you grow spiritually, you feel like you are again in the womb... in the womb of the universe. Everything is provided without asking.
