Spiritual leader Swami Dayananda Saraswati spoke about desire and impressed upon the audience that desire is not as bad as it is made out to be.
“We should learn to see desire as a privilege. On this planet, only human beings can desire. Animals can’t. They are programmed to behave in a way and they do not have the faculty to desire. Have you seen Indian monkeys queuing up outside the US consulate? You don’t. Because monkeys do not have that desire to go to the US,” he said.
He said one can desire and be ambitious and yet contribute something to the society.
