Wednesday, September 16th through Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 | | | | | | | From Srila Prabhupada: This is the ultimate stage, no more desire. We may begin with desire, but perfection is that, when there is no more desire. That is the beginning of bhakti...That is bhakti, no more desire...So long our heart is compact with material desires, we have to take birth after birth to fulfill that desire. It is automatic. So how to become desireless? Not desireless but no material desires. There is desire to go back to home, back to Godhead. That is natural. To become a devotee, to desire like that, that is wanted. We cannot stop our desires. But desires have to be purified...So this is the process of bhakti. -- "Don't Try to Be Happy Here" Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.2.17, Vrndavana, September 20, 1975
