Desire does not belong to nature. Nature moves as a whole, in harmony, without wanting anything. Desire is born only when the ego enters, the sense of “I am incomplete,” which distorts action and disrupts natural order. Freedom begins when this false inner actor is absent.

00:00The whole can have no desire. Prakrati acting on Prakrati itself can have no desire. Moon
00:10causing the tides can have no desire. And remember when we say the moon is causing the tides,
00:18it is actually the whole causing the whole. Prakrati through the moon is acting on Prakrati
00:25in the form of waves. That is the whole acting on the whole. That is how action happens in
00:31Prakrati. But when it comes to the human being, there exists a self-certified, self-referential
00:44false inner actor. Most of our actions are mediated by and distorted by the inner agency
00:55called the ego, ahankar. And the ego is bound to be desirous because its fundamental definition
01:02is I am but I am incomplete. So any action arising from the ego is desirous action. The entire
01:11universe has a nice harmony. What will the ego do? Disrupt it.
01:19The earth, the soil, the sun, the wind, the water table, they all know how tall the tree
01:30must rise. What will the ego do? It will clip it into a bonsai. The ego is a disruptor of
01:38natural cause-effect cycle. The ego does not allow the whole to act on the whole wherever
01:47it can interfere. For the total to exist, something must be missing. What must be missing? The ego.
