Unfulfilled or obstructed desire causes anger. It is created from rajas guna(excess action).
This craving is never satisfied, and causes self harming action. This desire envelopes wisdom like dust hides the mirror. The eternal soul is hidden by this desire. It is the constant enemy of the wise.
Desire hides in the senses, mind and intellect, and afflicts wisdom. This is why we should subdue the senses. The way to become free from these bonds of desire are through meditation, prayer, following one’s life purpose, following one’s ayurvedic foods and lifestyle, and trying to not harm anyone or anything (in action, words, and thoughts).
These senses are stronger than the body, the mind is stronger than the senses, the intellect is stronger than the mind, and the soul is strongest of all.
So freeing oneself from desires can be achieved with willpower, perseverance, and with the help of gentle, natural habits of meditation, lifestyle, and monitoring one’s thoughts, words and deeds.
