We have so many desires and often we feel we don't have energy to fulfill them.

The Divine sends us with enough energy and capacity to fulfill all our desires. But most of us don't feel this way. Why? There is a difference between our true desires and 'borrowed' desires.

Then they meditate on these desires. At the end of the meditation, they are asked to recollect from memory their list of desires. What they can recollect is usually a fraction of what they have written! It is as if they started with a large tree full of leaves, their desires, and during this meditation the tree sheds almost all its leaves, as if the leaves were dried and dead.

If you can understand which desire is innate and which is accumulated, spiritual growth happens automatically. Whatever is left in their memories, those desires glow like gold. They are the ones that carry the energy for their fulfillment!

These desires are the true desires. If the process is done with awareness, these desires are always selfless desires. They may benefit the individual, no doubt, but they always benefit humanity. Only such selfless desires carry the energy of the universe with them for fulfillment!

Filling your being is the right job of the Master than fulfilling your desires. Fulfilling your desires are too small than filling your being. A Real Master fills your being
