Desire is the third knot

Mar 28 eve
Silence reduce somewhat. I noticed it reduce whenever I lose awareness of myself. I can  get back to silence by doing Samyama.

Father, just now meeting with management didn't go well. The boss keep on asserting she knows best. But alas cannot drive the business. As my tots were churning negatively, I bring back my awareness and see beyond the critic and work for the best. With the change of my perception, the initial resistance dissolve. I m going to learn the next operational phase. My FM agreed with me too.

The first knot was the mind. The second knot was the life-current, the life for life.
The third knot is desiring. Have u ever known a moment when u had no desire? If u can even for one moment come to a desireless state, in that very moment, you become godly.

Desire means: "I am not interested in what already is, I am interested in what I desire there should be".
Desire means u r not interested  in what is available. Your interest in what should be available. But when it become available, u will not be interested in it anymore, because now it has become the present and your interest always lies in the future.
Desires always reaches out into the future and goes on missing the present. And yet whatever actually exists is here  and now.

Soul
I can relate to that. But desire is living or is it not?

Osho
The more the desires, the more the knots, the deeper the desires, the more complicated the knots.
We are just a collection of unfulfilled desires, because no desire is ever fulfilled. We exist as demands - thousand of different beggars exist within us. And each and every desire demands a different kind of satisfaction. Nothing is ever achieved.
The one who goes on demanding will go on wandering on the outer journey, in the outer world. Only the one who ceases to demand enters the inner depth.

Good Food was my salvation.  I have always said the day I turn vegetarian voluntarily, that's the day I get enlightened.
Today is third day without meat.  I was at dinner with friends. I just ate vege, took potato from the chicken curry and mutton gravy. Ignored the meat.
I was surprised at myself. There were no fuss, no shame or loss of pride. I can do it even with mostly veg food.
