Unlimited desires


Man is deluded by his unlimited desires.He is living in a dream world. He is living in a dream world. He is forgetting the supreme Conciousness Curtail your desires,as materialstic desires lead to a restless and disastrous life.Desire are a prison, Man can be freed only by limiting his wants. You should have desire only for life's bare necessaties.

Firstly,eat only what you need to eat. Do not be gluttonous. Do not take more than you can eat and waste the rest,because wasting food is a great sin.Food is the main source of man's life,body,mind and character. The reason for the present beastly and demonic tendencies in our minds is the food we consume.

Secondly, consider the ways in which money is spent. Do not misuse money; by doing so,you will only become a slave to bad qualities,bad ideas and bad habits. Use your money wisely and only for good deeds.

A man should own only as much wealth as is essentials. It is like the size of his shoes. If the shoes are too loose, he cannot walk; If they are too tight,he cannot wear them. Money is like manure,piled up in one place, it fouls the air, Spread it wide, scatter it over fields, it rewards you with a bumper harvest.

Thirdly examine the use of time.One should not waste time. Time should be sanctified because every thing in creation is dependent on time. Do not defile time by gossiping and un-necessary talk.

Fourthly, conservation of energy is very important. Our physical ,mental and spiritual energies should never be wasted. seeing bad things,speaking evil, thinking evil thoughts, and doing evil deds all waste your energy.
Conserve your energy in all these four areeas,and make your life more meaningful.
