Working with Desires
Question: To whom within myself should I explain what the purpose of creation is?
Answer: You must explain the purpose of creation and everything that happens not only to the external world but also to your inner world so that all your desires, all your impulses, will understand it.
Then you begin to sort them out according to how each desire at each moment can be aligned in relation to the overall goal.
You cannot simply erase some desires. You are obligated to give them some kind of answer, some kind of fulfillment, some kind of correction. Even those desires that cannot currently be truly corrected in practice you must satisfy through the advancement of your other parts, your other desires.
The desires with which you are currently unable to move forward on the path of correction, you must compensate for. That is, you must restrict them, refrain from using them even if you greatly want to. How can this be done? You must give them a kind of sweetening of the state in which they are not being fulfilled and not being realized.
