HOW TO BE FREE OF SORROW
It is said that Desire is the root cause of Sorrow.
When we do not get what we desire, there is Sorrow.
When we get what we do not desire, there is Sorrow.
If one desire is fulfilled, how happy you become!

If one desire is fulfilled, how happy you become!
If all
your desires are fulfilled how happy you will be!
When all your desires are fulfilled you will be in a state in which no desires are left -- and you will desire nothing at all.
Now imagine for a while a situation in which you do not desire anything at all to start with!
You will be at absolute peace with yourself in a state of perfect contentment and happiness.
Sorrows shall cease to exist.
You wish to buy a diamond worth millions. You do not have the money. The desire haunts you and makes you sorrowful.
Now either you get millions to buy the diamond - -or else you give up the desire to buy the diamond, and you will be equally happy.
Sometimes one finds greater fulfillment in life by selectively giving up many desires rather than run fruitlessly to try and satisfy them.
