We fill our lives with such busy-ness! Always believing we can fill the void and ease the aching desire. In vain we search in the outer world. Yet it is the unexplored inner world that holds the treasure we seek. It is hidden in the most unlikely place we could imagine—in the absence of everything we desire, and in fact, in the absence of desire itself.
This doesn't mean we can't enjoy things we desire or that we shouldn't have any desires. It means letting go of our attachment to desires. They will come and go, some will be fulfilled; others not. Let them drift by like clouds in the sky. To be in a state of desire is to be unfulfilled. To be desireless is to be at peace.
