[Advaita-l] Desire and its Management - A brief study

[Br. Pranipata]

Nothing to be appreciated for possession of viveka nor to be blamed is the 
prarabdha.

viveka which do not culminate is vairagya is no good.

desire management is not the technique preached in BG.

Lord is very emphatic in his teaching ' jahi shatrum mahabaho kAmarUpam 
durAsadam'.
