The vedas acknowledge divine karma as the origin of all creation, preservation, and destruction. However, since God does not have desires, unlike humans, he is not constrained by them. In the first chapter of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.6.1), we discover that karma is one of the three main causes of diversity, alongside name and form. The variety in names is a result of speech, and the variety in forms is a result of the eye, while the mind and body are the sources for the variety in actions. For every action, the body serves as the source, the controller, or the lord. Within the body, the mind, speech, breath, organs of action, and organs of perception are regarded as the primary deities who receive sustenance from the body and carry out their respective functions. Nevertheless, we cannot solely depend on them to combat the impurities and the malevolent forces that can infiltrate our body, as they are susceptible to evil and demonic influences, thoughts, desires, temptations,...
Watching the rise and fall of desire through thought or changing desire from negative to positive requires deep meditation, which is not easily achieved. So what should we do with angry desires and how should we create them?
Let's understand the real meaning of desire. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something or hoping that something will happen. The universe began not with light, as in the Judeo-Christian tradition, but with desire, the "first germ and germ of the soul." < br>< br>Psychology says that desires constantly appear in our hearts and are then replaced by other desires. Without this desire there would be no point in doing anything. Life cannot stand up, just like those who cannot think. Short-term desire corresponds to boredom, long-term desire corresponds to melancholy.
The paradox theory of desire says that we are born with desire and cannot remember a time when we did not have desire. We may act on our desires without being aware of them and only realize them when they are too strong or conflict with our other desires. But it's all about body and mind.
The Upanishads give us a simple way to solve the problem of lust, and that is to follow the method of Karma Yoga for the ignorant.
Now let's first understand what desire means; these are wealth, power, etc. It is the same desire for or ultimately leads to the same desire. This can be called selfishness in Vedanta. Because everything we do is for our body and mind. We won't be happy after all. It is better instead to meet the needs of others and try to alleviate their sorrows. Understand this with the golden rule of almost all religions: If someone else is experiencing the same pain as me or more, then help him get rid of his pain and try to make him feel better. Because others will also be happy about the nice things we receive. This thought process is a more powerful way to control or change the desires we feel through deep thought.
In fact, Samara exists so that people like us can change our desires, and just as we do through hard work and practice, other people know this too. contemplation Wisdom can change the desire in their hearts.
Here, the concept of desire tells us what can suppress the wrong desire within us. Remember, this cannot always be done. Now this concept also brings with it spiritual power/intervention. Therefore, the next time it comes, it will be harder to defeat it because the will has not yet been completed, it has been abused, criticized or manipulated. Deep meditation allows us to realize that we no longer know when the seed of desire has suffered, but when it has been planted. So thinking deeply can help us transform our thoughts into an understanding of technology and then the understanding of technology will appear in our mind as nothing happens and everything is going well. This is a very difficult practice, so the Upanishads give us the path of Karma Yoga, just as blind people acquire their will through their actions and experiences.

To perform all this in strain has no place in front of performing all this as a skill.

You are constantly bringing new concepts of meditation and I really want to try few of those, I think we all want that. It will be great if you could guide us though your blogs to help us understand various forms of meditation and provide a path to practice them.
