It is a fact that we are all driven, in fact enslaved by our desires. Look at your life, it is filled with desires, desire to lead a happy life. The fact that creation itself was a result of Desire is an accepted Truth. And thereafter even the process of evolution resulted out of the desire for betterment of the created elements. However there is a subtle difference between the desire that enslaves us today in our life and the desire for the Creation of this Universe and Life.
The desire to have a manifested world with universe, planests, stars, cratures, human beings, animals e.t.c was based out of Love. However the process to keep this manaifested Life is driven by desires created out of the three elements, the Satva, Rajas and Tamas which creates a chain of cause and effect described as Karma.
Well, the question is if the Creation itself was untouched by the Trigunas then why is the process to keep it going is enveloped by Trigunas and the Karma Factor. The easy answer could be that if the Gunas were never there, perhaps the whole creation would have merged back into the Creator itself without resulting into Leela. This Life is a Leela. The fact is also that as the whole creation and the process is a result of Desire, there is nothing in the universe or this world that one desires and cannot achieve. There is however a catch there, if the desire is based on on pure Love, the chances are that the desire will get fulfilled. With Love I dont mean the emotion resulting from the Trigunas, the Love that I mean here is Pure connection, away from attachment, jealously, anger. lust e.t.c. This is the Love which framed this creation, so there is nothing in this world that cannot be fulfilled if this is based out of pure Love.
Well, the fact is also that in this Life, many seekers, philosophers and great Souls were and are able to decode this fact and there have been a desire to merge with the Supreme or the Creator and they have been on that path of Love which facilitates this process. The desire however is always there and this is good. The fun is, even being a part of this Leela, if you have the desire to merge with the Creator, the Creator just loves you !
Happy Living and have fun !
