Today, desires are growing at an alarming pace. Even if people are about to die in a couple of minutes, they still express some desire or the other! What are these desires? What are you gaining from these? Nothing! On the other hand, if you had no desires, you would be so very peaceful. You may believe it or not, I have no desires within Me. That is why I have no worries. Follow Me! When you too have no desires your heart will be blissful. When desires go down, automatically the mind is turned toward God. Desires only imprison you; they don't set you free as you think. Today, controls are being exercised on everything except the mind and desires. It is the desires that must first be controlled. This will give you a great deal of peace. You will be surprised to see so much peace in yourself. Peace is natural to you and will arise on its own, once desires are controlled.
