#KROM 6. Why is “desire” mentioned as the worst pain?
Why is “desire” mentioned as the worst pain? What is that to do with creation and evolution? Does the attainment of “Continuous Bliss” only applicable in this birth?
----
Desires can never completely be fulfilled until they are given up. One desire leads to another in an endless progression or transforms into other kinds of negative qualities, such as anger, jealousy, etc.
Every desire would require a means to experience it. For example, desiring any sensual pleasures will require a physical body with senses to experience those pleasures. So, as long as desire is there, one will keep reincarnating and will not be able to attain the Eternal Unchanging state with Never-Ending Bliss.
When those birth-causing desires are given up completely, at that moment, even while in body, one can attain Liberation. Those saints that are liberated while in body are known as “Jeevan Muktaas!” There is no more reincarnation after that! Sri Valluvar assures:
ஆரா இயற்கை அவா நீப்பின் அந்நிலையே
பேரா இயற்கை தரும்.
"Aaraa iyaRkai avaa neeppin annilaiyE
pEraa iyaRkai tharum.”
(aaraa = aaraada = cannot be fulfilled; pEraa = peyaraada = unchanging)
----
(Oh good... I was a bit worried if the Bliss will stop after our death, then all the effort to achieve is all wasted, you know; I am glad Sri VaLLuvar clarified it here. Ok, how does desire give rise to “birth”? Are all desires bad and if so, why does God have to give this faculty to us?
…
Yes, Brother, you are right! Let us see in next what Sri Valluvar says.)
