Be Desireless!

#spirituality
I have observed that today's world has become a strong votary of Epicurean philosophy - eat, drink and be merry seems to be the motto of general populace.

But can one here remain happy, in high spirits, indefinitely? The answer is "NO".

Though there are episodes of joyfulness, merrymaking, this illusory world, my dear, is largely a place full of deceits, pains and acute sorrows.

I have found that along with miseries, life in this transient world is also highly monotonous, primarily revolving around sleeping, eating, drinking and mating.
Only the animals don't get bored by such a routine.
A buffalo, chewing incessantly, doesn't complain of boredom!

A wise person, however, becomes aware about the woeful, wearisome world and makes an effort to get freed from it's shackles.
He realizes the foolishness of pursuing material desires.

Desires, if fulfilled, breeds greediness while unfulfilled desires cause frustrations, disappointments.

Be "desireless".

Stop craving for material possessions, relations.

A person having no liking for goodies would never visit a shopping mall!

One would then merge and become one with the Sea(God).
This is called "Moksha" or liberation from the bondage of "Maya"(Illusion).

By merging with the Source, one becomes an indispensable, inseparable part of the Infinite--the Supreme Bliss.

Gautama knew the way to attain "Moksha". That's why he added "Buddha" to his name--Gautama Buddha. "Budaha" (Buddha) in Sanskrit means bubble--hollow, empty.
Decimate all your longings. Be hollow and empty if you want to achieve lasting solace.
