Desire is Powerful

 There is no limitation of our desires. We fulfill one desire with the invitation of another one. This is not the desire which comes by others opinions. The real desire comes within. One desire breeds another desire. The tendency of desires is to get influenced by both internal and external factors. We are not body and mind, we are soul. Body and mind are bound to cease, but soul is eternal. As Bhagwat Gita (2-62, 63) says:--

While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment desire develops, and from desire anger arises. From anger, delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost, one falls down again into the material pool.

The desire compels us to indulge in different-different Karma to fulfill our desire. That creates our material nature for the next birth. Until and unless all our desires are fulfilled and our all Karma are repaid, we keep taking continuous birth and death in distinct body. According to our material nature, the soul takes the next body. Even before leaving the present body, the soul comes to know about his next body. For an illustration, you shouting on someone unnecessarily, and keep fighting over your territory, according to this behavior, your soul may attain the body of Dog to sooth this behavior and desire. You keep running in the competition by kicking others from the back, your next body may be Horse… and so … on… Human life is not for competition, it is for creation. Create new opportunity, create new technology, create new business, create new learning for other for the best life, create your true self, and many more you can think and create afresh. Everyone has been blessed with uniqueness.

Your numerous unfulfilled desires grant you to take numerous bodies to fulfill your desire. It is said that after getting the body of 84,00,000 species, we get the human body. It is metaphoric for our numerous unfulfilled desires. It might be possible that, the people at that time would be aware about the 84,00,000 species, so they mapped like that. The no. of birth and death could be less or more depending upon our unfulfilled desires and material nature. The human body is considered the last body for the soul. It is an opportunity to repay or nullify all our Karma and fulfill all our desires to get the liberation from the continuous cycle of birth and death. Risk is also involved in human body to reload more Karma due to our free will and fall back into continuous cycle of birth and death.

Some people say, nullify your desire to get the liberation, this is not true, we cannot nullify our desire. To think to nullify our desire is also a desire. We can only select and discard our desires on the basis of the depth of our awareness and knowledge. This facility is confined to human only, not to any other creatures. Human can imagine and visualize the consequences by the frontal cortex of the human brain. Animals and plant have no option but to act according to the body and nature. A tree cannot grow more or less leaves and fruits than he designed to. An animal can learn the quality according to his body without giving any training. The human has been blessed with the free will to go up to any extent and learn and earn anything he desires, by putting his effort into right direction. Desire bounds us into Karma, so this is our responsibility to make a cautious selection of the desires. And what the desire you make in your life, put your all the effort to fulfill in this life only, and it is quite possible. Chandogya Upanishad (Ch.VIII, Sec-2, Verse-10) says: -- “Whatever object he is attached to, whatever object he desires, by his mere will it comes to him, and having obtained it, he is happy.”

It suggests that whatever the desire we have, it is designed to be fulfilled. Just we need to work on this assiduously and solemnly.

Desire is very powerful. It can make you to suffer and it has also the pledge to release you from all of your sufferings. Selection is very crucial and it is merely yours,  it should be taken with full cautions and awareness. Fulfill all your pulsating desires in this life only without violating anybody`s right. The pulsating desire backed with faith is definitely fulfilled.
