Desires are the most unrelenting enemies of man; he cannot appease them. Have only one desire: to know God. Satisfying the sensory desires cannot satisfy you, because you are not the senses. They are only your servants, not your Self.
– Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
My comment on it
That is the goal. But it is not easy to turn off the switch of desire. Again and again – we see a delicacy and our senses are tempted we look forward to our meeting tea / coffee or a nice restaurant.
I just refer to one sense. The other senses are just as bad
The cravings of the body is easy to suppress but hard to be victorious
To achieve this victory daily meditation and separation of senses is needed.
