Desire is the worst enemy and it has to be canalized and reduced with determination until it ceases to bother you. Besides desire, anger and greed also have to be discarded, for they are present wherever there is desire. When you say "bowman", it is implied that there are arrows too with the bow. Thus desire is ever associated with anger and greed. Desire is bad even if it is for fame and authority. It is the avarice for power and pelf that ruins many a human life... Life is a long journey.�Keep your hearts ever pure, steady and inclusive.�Do not tarnish others hearts to make them narrow and vengeful.�You must encourage opportunities to enlarge them and soften them through intensive social service.
- Divine Discourse, Aug 8, 1976.
