Lets check the world of desires. Creating any desire and fulfilling it is like putting your foot into the mud then washing it by clean water and then thinking, “See how clean is my foot now! It was so dirty few minutes ago!” without realizing that you yourself made it dirty by putting it into the mud.

You are sitting comfortably in your drawing room. You desire, “I should enjoy some food delicacies.” You approach a shop nearby. Being Sunday the shop is closed. Your urge is strong. You drive to city. Get into good restaurant. Eat food. Come back to house and again sit comfortably in the drawing room. What is the difference between the initial and the final stages? Nothing! Thus you create desire. Take all sorts of pains to fulfill it. Fulfill it ultimately. And feel satisfied all about it. Hadn’t you created desire, there wouldn’t have been any restlessness. In other words, you create restlessness first and pacify it later on.

There is a man. He is a worker. His earnings are quite sufficient to run his household and to take care of his family. On day he desires, “I must start business.” Before deciding on business, he thought that he was unhappy with his current sate of affairs and should look for more money or higher status.

He is successful in business and now has four Mercedes cars and many costly apartment. Still he thinks that he needs to diversify into other venture to grow. Again he thinks exactly same, as he thought before starting the business, that he is unhappy with his current sate of affairs and must look for more money or higher status.

What is the conclusion? Desires are like black holes. They will never get satisfied completely. Desires will consume every thing, whatever it may be, offered to them and will be ready with other demands. In other words, before acquiring any object or status, you think those objects will make you happy and you will not need anything any further. After acquiring those objects, they do give you pleasure but it is short-lived and later on it becomes a routine work without any excitement which was present when the objects were new.
