Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 27-12-2008
I would like to reply to a question. Please listen carefully to the question and answer which relates to desires and emotional attachments. I shall reply so you can understand it easily. Please listen carefully! To those who take the trouble to do so, I shall tell you that it is difficult to root out a desire completely. If we suppress it there is a chance of its raising its head again. I shall give you an illustration. If a spring is attached to a metal rod and you hold one end of it and pull it, it will stretch but as soon as you release it, it will go back to its initial position. (Here the metal rod is the mind and the spring is the desire). Similarly it is difficult to remove desires. So the only solution is to remove the spring completely from the rod. You must deal with the desire by eliminating the circumstances that created the desire. For example if you are addicted to something throw out the reason for your addiction from your person, home and avoid the company of those who have the same addiction. If you follow these rules I believe that you will be able to remove it. It may be a bit difficult but first identify these desires one by one and deal with them individually.
