DESIRE & DISTRESSPath to Freedom from SufferingsThe Timeless Insights from the Classic Oriental Scripture Vairagya Shatakam
This book teaches that holding onto desires causes stress and worry. When we realize this, we can aim for a calmer life. Desires start when we get attached to things that make us feel good. When one desire is met, we feel better for a while, but new desires keep coming, making us feel bad again. The more we are attached, the more we hurt. The best way out is to let go of strict expectations, so we can be truly free from emotional struggles. Otherwise, we stay stuck in a never-ending cycle of suffering with only short breaks.
