Namaste,IMO, Desire is as real as creation as it is the force of creation. So as creation is unreal and an illusion so is desire. However to give it some validity for arguments sake--it is an emotion driven by instinct and thought reactions. The animals are full of desires that are useful to them, such as food and procreation. For humans we have the innate instinctual desires of our subtle bodies plus we have the desires created by thought. The same desires that create anger when frustrated........So it is an illusory motive force within the delusion of creation....it is of the mind. However with humans it is much about ego desire and satisfaction as well...It is the chain that binds us.............Cheers Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
