To open up all the samskaras
(patterns), all the unfulfilled
desires, guilt.

Desire means I should live like
this in future; guilt means I
should have lived like that in the
past. I should live like this is
desire; I should have lived like
that in the past is guilt.

Both are same energy; when it
travels towards the future, it is
desire; when it travels towards the
past, it is guilt.

IS IT
WRONG
TO HAVE
DESIRES?

Desire is not wrong. Having so much of desires, you have never time to fulfil even one desire is wrong. Desire to have a cup of coffee is not wrong. But by the time coffee is ready, you are already worried about having a buttermilk.

By the time buttermilk is ready. you have already started worrying about the nectar. But finally from the morning till night you never drank anything. That is what is wrong.

Your life is running only in this way. Project plan, project plan, project plan , project plan and dead line for what. for project to die. But never ever. Never ever you enjoy, live. Yeyati could not relax from his life because he never enjoyed. By that time he is enjoying something in his life, his mind is already there in something else. By the time he is enjoying something else, his mind is there something else. Continuously moving, Never living.
