Desire

Desire is the most fundamental force in the universe. In order for anything to be created, whether it is a universe or life experience or external circumstances, it has to first be desired. Without desire, no creation or form is possible. Within the mind, underneath all the thoughts lies the realm of desire (also known as intention and curiosity). It is here that creation begins. It is here that first thought originates. Without it, there is no achievement, no seeking, no questions, no curiosity, no attachments, no suffering. It is the force of desire that creates the multitudes of forms that we see outside. It is desire which creates a universe. To understand the mind, desire must be understood. So if desire creates the world, what then creates desire? It is the perception of separation that creates desire. A sense of something else. A sense of an 'other'. The force which drives the activity of the world is nothing but desire. Something is perceived to be lost. Something is perceived to be 'out there'. A sense of incompleteness with what is creates the urge, the drive, the motivation, the desire to seek for that which will cause completion. A sense of lack creates desire. The desire and hunger for experience, the desire for sex is all created by a sense of incompleteness.

The most powerful urge in this realm is the desire for sex. We seek sex as a means for completion. The world is driven by this most fundamental desire for sex. A most powerful force it is. This force sustains the illusion of the world. Caught in the throes of this powerful force, we are unable to see clearly. We are lost in the forest of the world. Every moment is a fight against this urge. Most desires can be traced back to this one root desire. This keeps us constricted and attached and forever seeking.

We must first see that no experience, however profound can satisfy you. Because the very search for satisfaction stems from a place of incompleteness and lack. You seek experience as a means to feel complete. There is always a sense of having missed out on some life experience. A regret over some lost opportunity to experience something. Something which will lead to salvation. The mind constantly seeks salvation. Always hungry to experience life. More of life experience. Always dissatisfied with non experience. The emptiness of this moment terrifies us. So we crave novel experiences. For how long will you engage in this senseless pursuit? Come home now. You have had enough. Be Still. Be aware. Forget the world. Forget the universe. Come back to the source. Come home to emptiness. Stop this madness. Stop this incessant drive to seek more experiences. This drive will never satisfy you. You will be always miserable and deeply discontent with this moment. Nothing is needed. No experience is needed. You are already complete. Incompletion never existed in the first place. Stop the continuous inner chatter. Stop listening to the voice in your head.
