Desires....

Recently I have noticed one thing happening with my desires. I still get many desires, but they don't have the momentum of the past. So desires arise and when they arise the mind wants to do something about it. A few hours later, the desire is gone and mind is free. But it can come again after a few days. In short it is like clouds coming and going in the sky. If you caught up with the desire saying that it is the real you, then you are stuck. Allowing the desire to be there and knowing that it is only a passing thought, you don't act on it. That way you can get out of the desire. The more you see this happening, the more will be your awareness and it is a cycle which help increase your awareness. However if you start acting on the desire or think that it is really the thing that you want, you will get stuck. One thing will lead to another and you will end up in a vicious cycle.

May you have the awareness to see desires as desires and separate from you!!!...
