ભલે રહ્યો ચહેરો પ્રાણશક્તિ,
ઇચ્છાઓની પણ હોય અવધિ.
રુખ બદલે જ્યારે જીવનશક્તિ,
ઇચ્છાઓની ક્યાં રહે પહોંચ એટલી?
સંકલ્પબળ ચૂંટે પ્રભુ શરણું પછી,
ઈચ્છાઓ પલટાય, ભળે પ્રભુગતિ.
જીવનવહનને હજી અનિવાર્ય ખરી
ઈચ્છાઓ ભરતી રહે સૂચક હાજરી.
કર્તવ્યવત, નહીવત્ તીવ્રતા ધરી,
ઈચ્છાઓ ઉદભવે સતતત્વ બક્ષી.
દિવ્ય રૂપાંતરણમાં વિરમે સઘળી,
બસ! અભીપ્સા રૂપી, શેષ વહોરે આહુતિ.
જય હો પ્રભુ...
સાદર...

All the ordinary vital movements are foreign to the true being and come from outside; they do not belong to the soul nor do they originate in it but are waves from the general Nature, Prakriti.
The desires come from outside, enter the subconscious vital and rise to the surface. It is only when they rise to the surface and the mind becomes aware of them, that we become conscious of the desire. It seems to us to be our own because we feel it thus rising from the vital into the mind and do not know that it came from outside. What belongs to the vital, to the being, what makes it responsible is not the desire itself, but the habit of responding to the waves or the currents of suggestion that come into it from the universal Prakriti.
The rejection of desire is essentially the rejection of the element of craving, putting that out from the consciousness itself as a foreign element not belonging to the true self and the inner nature.

The rejection of desire is essentially the rejection of the element of craving, putting that out from the consciousness itself as a foreign element not belonging to the true self and the inner nature.
When one lives in the true consciousness one feels the desires outside oneself, entering from outside, from the universal lower Prakriti, into the mind and the vital parts. In the ordinary human condition this is not felt; men become aware of the desire only when it is there, when it has come inside and found a lodging or a habitual harbourage and so they think it is their own and a part of themselves. The first condition for getting rid of desire is, therefore, to become conscious with the true consciousness; for then it becomes much easier to dismiss it than when one has to struggle with it as if it were a constituent part of oneself to be thrown out from the being. It is easier to cast off an accretion than to excise what is felt as a parcel of our substance.
When the psychic being is in front, then also to get rid of desire becomes easy; for the psychic being has in itself no desires, it has only aspirations and a seeking and love for the Divine and all things that are or tend towards the Divine. The constant prominence of the psychic being tends of itself to bring out the true consciousness and set right almost automatically the movements of the nature.
