All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.

Everyone believes very easily whatever they fear or desire

I used to desire many, many things, but now i have just one desire, and that's to get rid of all my other desires.

"Do not to others what ye do not wish Done to yourself; and wish for others too What ye desire and long for for yourself — This is the whole of dharma — heed —it well    Veda Vyasa The Mahabharata"

He who reigns within himself, and rules passions, desires, and fears, is more than a king. John Milton When angry, count four, when very angry, swear.

When you are captivated by a larger goal, lower desires lose their grip

He alone wins who does not desire to win and he who wants to win, loses. Defeat is hiding itself in the very desire to win. And absence of this desire to win means the person concerned has already won, that he does not need it any more.
