The Buddha has said that there is a greater joy in overcoming a desire than in satisfying it. It is an experience everybody can have and one that is truly very interesting, very interesting…<\/p>\n
There is a kind of inner communion with the psychic being which takes place when one willingly gives up a desire, and because of this one feels a much greater joy than if he had satisfied his desire. Besides, most usually, almost without exception, when one satisfies a desire it always leaves a kind of bitter taste somewhere.<\/p>\n
There is not one satisfied desire which does not give a kind of bitterness; as when one has eaten too sugary a sweet it fills your mouth with bitterness. It is like that. You must try sincerely. Naturally you must not pretend to give up desire and keep it in a corner, because then one becomes very unhappy. You must do it sincerely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4386","inspiration","type-inspiration","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aurobook.saorg.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inspiration\/4386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aurobook.saorg.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inspiration"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aurobook.saorg.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/inspiration"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aurobook.saorg.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
