Following their example, man has to strive to reduce his desires gradually. Then only (human being) can become (God). That is why it is said “Life + desire = and life - desire = . What do we mean by the word “”? In fact, the (Divinity) is in our own self. It is said “." It means Lord is pervading the entire universe –– inside, outside and everywhere. I have explained this principle to you, several times. Take for example, the case of paddy. As long as there is husk covering it, it is called paddy. The moment you remove the husk, it is called rice. Both rice and paddy contain the same material. But, as long as it remains as paddy, it always sprouts wherever you put it, reminding us of the “” –– birth and death, again and again. Once you remove the husk, it cannot sprout even if you put it in the most fertile soil and water it. “Punarjanma na vidyate” (No rebirth at all!). The is like the rice and the desire is the husk. As long as there is the husk of desire, the cannot escape from the cycle of birth and death. If you wish to escape from the cycle of birth and death and attain immortality, you have to give up the desires of husk and try to become rice. Since our life is a long journey, we must follow the principle “Less luggage, more comfort; make travel a pleasure.” We must try to reduce our luggage of desires in this life’s journey. That is termed as ‘' in Vedantic parlance.
