DESIRES
Sri Bhagavan: There is nothing wrong in asking for worldly things. But as you said, you must first have your worldly problems solved. You must first ask for wealth, health, relationships and then for spiritual things.
Padapranams dear Sri Bhagavan, I don't have desires, what should i do?
Sri Bhagavan: If you suffer from discontent or unhappiness from this condition, then you've got to stay with it. You should not try to do any changes or put in any effort but simply embrace the situation. In case if there is discontent or unhappiness, then what happens is you'd get a breakthrough. On the other hand, if there is no discontent or if there is no unhappiness, then it is a very, very good state to be in. One could be very happy with it; that you are free of all desires, there is nothing there, all craving has stopped.
If that were the truth, then it's a most wonderful state to be in. But, if you are unhappy about it, then something is going wrong. So, in which case, you have to merely embrace this condition, not try to change it. The condition would naturally come up with a breakthrough and you'd know what to do.
