Be Desireless

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.
