For which of you desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
-Bible "Luke 14.28-31"

The fundamental desire of life is the desire to exist.
If your kingdom exists for the doctrine and not for fame or desire, then it will be extremely fruitful. If not, its fruit will be misfortune.
Our aspirations, our affections, and our desires are turned towards the wrong things. And only when we turn them towards the right things will things get better.
A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
-Deep Trivedi
Whatever we are doing, believing, thinking, desiring, understanding, feeling – if we are not aware of them while aware of ourselves in the present – we are asleep, and all are but embers of a dream.
Of all longings and desires, there is none stronger than sex. Sex as a desire has no equal. Rely on the Oneness. No one under heaven is able to become a follower of the Way if he accepts dualism.
