Be Desireless
Do not accumulate any desires, including the desire for the very Lord Himself
Desires, good or bad, propel one into the vicious cycle of births and deaths. If you are a good person in this birth and nurture a desire to be in the Lord’s service, this will lead you to another birth that will find you chanting the Lord’s name or rendering some service to the Lord — a virtuous circle.
Do not accumulate any desires, including the desire for the very Lord Himself. What must you do to attain this state? ‘aasai arumin, aasai arumin, eesanodaiyinum aasai arumin’ - Discard your desires one by one, and finally shed your desire for the Lord too. Even your desire for God will bring about another birth for you.
