Set Yourself Free

Desires do not vanish on their own accord

Set Yourself Free

The king Yayati married Sage Sukracharya’s daughter. And he also involved himself with that lady’s maid. Sukracharya, infuriated by his son-in-law’s immorality, cursed him to turn old. The king begged for mercy, and the sage told him that the curse could not be revoked, but the king could request the princes to exchange his old age for youth. The king thus obtained fresh leases of life from his sons. After several years of revelling in worldly pleasures, Yayati realized that the only way to get out of his desires was to drop them.

Desires do not vanish on their own accord. You must take the effort to free yourself from desires. It is you who are attached to the world, not the other way around.

‘Atradhu patrenil utradhu Veedu’. When you become aware that the world is transient, you will seek the Only Eternal Being, God.

Where destiny leads us to, is our destination
