BECOME DESIRELESS

Swami Sivananda

Destruction of desire is Moksha, or final emancipation. Desire makes the mind impure. Annihilate all desires. At once the mind becomes pure. God alone can free you from desires and fears. Pray to Him for purity and courage. Meditate on the desireless and fearless Brahman. You will become desireless and fearless. Crave for a thing, you will not get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself. Desire nothing, give up all desires and be happy. For a man of contentment, sovereignty of the whole world is no better than a bit of rotten Straw. He is indeed miserable and poor, who is dis contented. Repeat Om, Chant Om. Sing Om. Meditate on Om. All desires will vanish. You will attain Self-realisation.


Your body is made up of five elements — earth, water, fire, air, ether — which the world is also made of. So physically speaking, you are one with physical nature because the five elements outside are also in your body. Your physical existence seems to be coextensive with the physical nature outside.
