One cannot satisfy all desires in his lifetime

One cannot satisfy all desires in his life time. Desires are endless.  We are human.  Our desires are unlimited.  If we fulfill the desire another desire is generated.

Lord Buddha said desires cause sorrow.  A man will not be happy until his desires are satisfied. So his mind is in a perturbed condition.  I want to become a karodpati/millionaire. Desires grow. A man with desires in his mind even cannot die peacefully.  He may even take a new birth to satisfy his desires.  So where is the end.  How can his mind attain peace?


Everyone will have one or the other desire.  Nothing wrong.  They may be reasonable.  We work to achieve our goals.  But one should not be mad for getting something which is not within his reach.

By fulfilling desires one cannot become happy.  A desire has already disturbed the calmness of the mind.  So some people avoid to acquire and suppress the desire.  But this attitude also do not yield happiness.  Because the desire is not dead.  It remains in the mind.  So psychologically it affects.  The person will be grumbling now and then that he didn't attain his needs. Desire is okay but greedy will cause many problems. So to be happy, to control mind give up the desire.  Put an end to desires.
