“Desire
and ambition generate unrest. All anxiety and the compulsion to do are
symptoms of desire and ambition. One only frees oneself of a symptom by
eliminating the cause, which is only eliminated by understanding the
cause. Self-investigation generates this comprehension. By investigating
the causes, one will discover that one is obsessed with success. But I
ask you: what is success for you? Is it reaching a certain level in your
life? And once you reach this level, what do you do? You want more.
This is the nature of desire.”
Sri Prem Baba
