Poisons of the World – Desire
Commencing operation . . .
Overview
Like puppets to the strings, are most people when it comes to their desires. Those who lack discipline helplessly seek out their desires as a drug addict would. Often the case, these people become wound up in a vicious cycle, unable to break free.
The Problem
Now, I do not believe all desires are wrong per se. Ambitious desires can be beneficial as they can spur you onward toward success.
Sensual desires, on the other hand, if overly indulged will likely bring ruin. When you want something, you give up your individual power to the object of desire. This creates a vulnerability within you, which can be exploited.
The Solution
The lockdown has provided an excellent opportunity for people to develop greater control over their sensual desires. For those who have obeyed the procedures, the chance to seek solace within has been granted.
Be Desire-less.
Train your body and spirit to be content. When the poison of desire tries to seep into your mind, abstain!
I recently read through Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life – An Antidote to Chaos and one of his lessons talks about sacrificing the present for the future. A concept which I have applied in my life for a long time now but this rule among a few others truly resonated with me. Those who become trapped with the fleeting pleasures of the moment have no hope of building a future. Only through the constant sacrifice of the present moment, only by bargaining with the future by staking a claim on potentialities and possibilities, can lasting happiness occur.
Conclusion
If you can release your hold on your sensual desires, you will become unstoppable. The devil’s only weapon is temptation! If you do not succumb to it, he can do nothing else to you!
