What has morality taught you? Desire is evil, but that’s not so in the case of the Rigveda. Here you see the very dance of desire. Mother river, can I ask for one more thing? I’ll worship you more, but please give me this thing. As I said, like a naked child, unafraid to ask, constantly inviting the gods, you please come. The feast is ready. And this time we have some special butter for you. Gods, please come. And they really believe that the gods are coming and enjoying the meals. And now that the gods are satisfied, they’ll say, you know, can I have one more wife? Not that it’s just about asking for desires.
Now, this does not mean that you have to run after your desires. Why? Because you are already at the peak of your desires. Is there anybody here whose mind is not full of desires? So you don’t need to add to the list of your desires. Because there have been teachers in the past who have advanced this argument. They have said, you know, unless your desires get huge and big and they reach a critical mass and they explode, you will never be liberated. No, sir, you don’t need that. Why?
Because your desires have already reached a critical mass. You don’t need to add to the mass that you have. We are already slaves of desire. But we like to hear when somebody says, you know, you must pursue your desires and at the peak of your desires you will get desirelessness. So you say, fine, that’s a good kind of sanction. A very liberative License, let me consume more and more. And now even Guruji has allowed. Not Guruji, Babaji. I have him here. Getting it?
