O Rama, the pride of Raghu dynasty! World is but a manifestation of desires while elimination of desires brings salvation. Therefore, all efforts should be made to be free from desires, rather than performing various austerities to this end. The more one is laden with desires the more one becomes fearful of facing pain and agony. When a person controls his desires through discrimination, the contagious disease of painful suffering is gradually eradicated. If it is not possible to remove all your desires at one go, It should be done step by step; but one must persistently work for the total eradication of desires. For one who follows the path of righteousness never comes to grief. Desire is the root cause of all sufferings in this world. If you incinerate this cause with the fire of Self-realization it will never arise again.
