Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 When we say that the "Desire is the root cause of all our problems", it really means the attachment to the desire and the results thereof. We put in a sincere effort and accept the result of our efforts as the will of the Lord. This is surrender to the Supremacy of the Lord. God is all knowing. He knows best what is good for us. Whatever happens in our lives, always happen for our good only. This is the unshakable truth. It may even be to wash our misdeeds of the past Karmas. This acknowledgement can help us to understand the situation and act intelligently instead of reacting. Blaming every one around for the unpleasant situations does not help. Helping others is a very good motivation but it should be done considering oneself as an instrument of God, rather than carry the burden of egocentric doership.

I want to do things that matter to somebody & make a differnce to their lives. Is it wrong. Why is that so? How do i get rid of the disappiontment when i do not get what i expect ? If people give up all their desires what will be their motivation to work or achieve something ? > I hope did not sound stupid... > > > > > Your use of is subject to > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
