Teachings from Bhagavad Gita on Desire
He who is able, while still here (in this world) to
withstand, before the liberation from the body (death), the impulse born out of
desire and anger, he is a YOGIN , he is a happy man. (5.23)
He should be known as a perpetual SAMNYASI who neither hates
nor desires; for, free from the pairs-of-opposites, O Mighty-armed, he is
easily set free from bondage. (5.3)
When a man completely casts off, O Partha, all the desires
of the mind, and is satisfied in the Self by the Self, then is he said to be
one of steady Wisdom. (2.55)
That man attains peace who, abandoning all desires, moves
about without longing, without the sense of 'l-ness' and 'my-ness. ' (2.71)
Whose undertakings are all devoid of desires and purposes,
and whose actions have been burnt by the Fire-of-Knowledge, him the
"wise" call a Sage. (4.19)
He who neither rejoices, nor hates, nor grieves, nor
desires, renouncing good and evil, full of devotion, is dear to Me. (12.7)
