- All individuals possess divinity at their core. However, this divine nature is often obscured by various desires that must be overcome.
- Generally, human beings are prone to animalistic tendencies, such as sensual indulgences and lust, which can be difficult to overcome. These desires are akin to a covering on a developing fetus, requiring acceptance and patience to overcome.
- Other desires, such as greed, the pursuit of fame and power, etc., can be likened to dust that covers a mirror. They can be overcome through regular religious practices, such as japa and upasana.
- Even subtle desires, such as the desire to study many scriptures or visit holy places instead of engaging in self-reflection and regular meditation, can obscure the divine nature within. These desires can be overcome by following the guidance of a Guru and regularly attending satsangs.
- Only those who possess wisdom understand desires as enemies, while others consider desires as friends on the path to achieving success in the world.
