Desire, Lust, and Passion

based on Swami Radhanandaji's discourse on Gita

kama esa kridha esa rajguna samudbhavah,
mahasano mahapapma viddy enam iha vairinam.

"Desire and the anger due to unfulfilled desires born out of Rajo-guna is all consuming, all sinful and is the biggest foe." -- Gita 3:37

When a Desire Is Not a Desire

by Swami Ramasukhdasji (Translated From Original Hindi by Swami Radhanandaji)

These three desires are not called desires because they do not bind a person.

Desire to see God or desire to love God.

Desire to Realize one’s own Self (Atman).

Desire to serve others without selfish motives.

Quotes

“What is the difference between a snake and a human being? Apparently the snake crawls on its belly, while man walks erect of his feet. Things are, however, not what they seem to be. For, what about the man who mentally crawls on his belly?” – M.K. Gandhi
