Desires are bound by the laws of success and failure . Desires must bring misery  Swami Vivekananda    The cause of all miseries from which we suffer is desire  Swami Vivekananda    You want freedom the bitter fruits of desire, not from desire itself and this is a very important thing to understand  J.Krishnamurti    If you could strip desire of pain, of suffering, of struggle, of all the anxieties and fears that go with it, so that only the pleasure remained, would you then want to be free of desire ? J.Krishnamurti    What is important is not to throttle desire , but to understand energy and the utilization of energy in the right direction  J.Krishnamurti    The desire to become - to become a great man, a great saint, a great this or that - has no end and therefore no fulfillment; its demand is ever for the "more" and such desire brings agony, misery, wars---  J.Krishnamurti    Every desire is fraught with evil, whether the desire itself is for the good or evil Sorrow is the shadow of desire  J.Krishnamurti    Conquer thy heart's throbs. Let thy heart beat in God  Sri Aurobindo    That which is actuated by desire is the sole source of sorrow and becomes insipid in an instant . It is sought after by the ignorant  Sankaracharya    There is no satisfaction of desires, even by a shower of money. One is wise to know that desires are painful bringing little enjoyment  Buddha    Desire, in itself is not evil. Desire is an incentive to actions and stimulant to active life  Zarathushtra    It is very difficult to find the borderland between a true need and a desire...  The Mother(Mirra)    There is not one satisfied desire which does not give a kind of bitterness; as when one has eaten too sugary a sweet, it fills your mouth with bitterness  The Mother(Mirra)    A desire which knows that it will never be satisfied at once vanishes  The Mother(Mirra)    To conquer a desire brings more joy than to satisfy it  The Mother(Mirra)
