Understanding a Person’s Mind

Understanding people’s nature and being aware of it when dealing with them is vital for a peaceful and positive outcome. Know your mind in order to know their mind. Know your nature in order to know their nature.

Directing Desire

One never really gets to the point in their life where all desire goes away. As my guru says "desire is life". I often hear older people say I don't have desires any more. I beg to defer. You do have desires. You just no longer desire what you use to desire. You have new desires.
