Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 43

How Can We Control an Uncorrectable Desire?

We must not use a desire that we cannot correct, except with the awareness that it remains uncorrected. There should be criticism and awareness.

We cannot correct a desire independently. Rather, our efforts bring about change from above. The reforming light corrects our desire. Without this light, no forced effort can achieve correction.
