Managing Desires

We often speak about the effect our desires have on our behaviour. Desires that get fulfilled make place for new desires and those that go unfulfilled cause agitations in our minds. At the same time, to have no desires is not possible. So what should we do to break this endless cycle? We need to channelise our desires, divinise them or sublimate them – thereby freeing ourselves from their enslaving and compulsive nature. This is called desire management.
