Wishes fulfilled

It might shock you out of your wits if somebody told you that desires and their nonfulfilment leads one to death. But then you might say that everyone has wishes and everyone endeavours all one’s life to try and fulfill them. However it is also a bitter truth that not all desires nurtured by a human reach the point of fructification. And nonfulfilment invariably leads to despair and frustration.

This is exactly what Lord Krishna points out to Arjun in the Bhagavad Gita. To quote his exact words he says that from attachment with objects arises desire, from desire arises anger, anger leads to delusion, delusion causes confusion of memory, confusion of memory results in loss of intellect and this causes a being to perish.

Does that mean that one should give up all desires?

This is what all so-called spiritual Gurus have been preaching. Be free of desires! But if one has no desire, then how shall there be progress on earth? How shall there be inventions and discoveries? How shall new things come into being? Won’t desirelessness lead to a stagnant world and society?

The words of Lord Krishna are not to be interpreted literally. They hide within a very deep meaning. Later on in the Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna reveals a spiritual practice which he calls Kamdhenu or the divine fulfiller of all desires. Is it not a contradiction that at one stage he seems to ask us to be free of desires and at another he reveals a practice for fulfilment of all wishes?

At first glance it might seem so. But when one delves deeper, one finds that the practice suggested by Lord Krishna is a method of surrendering or offering all one’s desires to God, for on doing so these are invariably fulfilled. Does it mean then that all that one has ever wished or desired or dreamt of can be attained by this practice?

Sure seems like it! And this very wonderful, yet very easy, practice has been correctly interpreted and explained for the very first time in the book titled You are God by its author Shashi Verma. So if you have dared to dream of something different in the world and are finding it hard to make it come true, then this path suggested by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita might be the breakthrough you have been looking for.
