Why do people go after unlimited desires?

by Gary Zalben

Created on: November 05, 2008

Cosmic UCLA.....For those of you who are not on a spiritual path, the following paragraphs may be hard to swallow. Considering the state of this world you may want to think carefully about looking into the spiritual path.

At the time of dying, the bird (man or disciple) is trapped by the hawk of impending death and forgets its blissful chirping and starts shrieking in fear. As long as your spiritual development is not deeply implanted, the severe pain of illness or the nearness of death will spark you to shriek in fear and you will fail to remember the divine spirit for it is said that your last thoughts at death will determine your next incarnation. In effect, if your last thoughts are of your wife or children, your possessions and money, those exact thoughts or unfulfilled desires will charter your next rebirth. If you are deeply spiritual and your last thoughts are of God, and you have anticipated and planned this event properly, you will be propelled to a highly spiritual family in your next incarnation and this will hasten the amount of countless returns to earthly life.

Analyze now the kind of life you are living and what I am now going to tell you. A man without any spiritual development is totally dependent upon the world. The result of such a man is zero development as the worldly requirement is one hundred percent. When a man is twenty five percent developed he still needs seventy five percent of the world for attaining peace. When a man is fifty percent developed he needs fifty percent of the world. When mans' spiritual development increases to seventy five percent, his need from the world decreases to twenty five percent. Therefore the spiritual development and avoidance of suffering are inversely proportional, that is the law.

The deadliest weapon against you and I is maya (illusion) constantly hypnotizing us with desires...oh desire "my great enemy." This is why we are still on earth and in the human form. We are totally hypnotized by cosmic maya (cosmic illusion) that ceaselessly suggests to us to act as if we were different personalities hence impersonating ourselves encased in a human body one incarnation after another. This may be hard for people to grasp but we are not in the body now, never were we; never will we be. We are in a state of hypnosis which makes it all real. True spiritual masters say that the hypnotized person can not get out of his hypnotic state without being de-hypnotized by either someone else, by self analysis, by wisdom
