Have you met a human being who doesn't have any desires? It is very rare to meet such a person. We all crave till we go to our grave. This is because of our ignorance. Either we have not realized the Truth of who we are, or we are not conscious of reality. Desires, cravings, and expectations may give us momentary happiness, but they will almost always end with disappointment and suffering. Does it mean we should have no desires?
People are confused. They think that they should not enjoy anything in this world. Unfortunately, this is a misunderstanding. We can most certainly enjoy this beautiful world. We can enjoy food and drink, traveling to exotic places, being with our loved ones, and shopping in malls and supermarkets. But we must not crave! The problem is not in enjoying life, but rather being slaves of our desires. We should not become so passionate that we lose Consciousness of reality. Every human being has to live, and we cannot kill our desires and cravings. But we must transcend them. We must master our desires and then continue to enjoy the world and everything in it. However, we must be conscious of the Truth that all this is transitory. Nothing is ours. All this is only to be enjoyed as long as we exist. Thus, we must renounce our desires, but be Happy as we enjoy whatever comes our way.
