Freedom from Desire

“When you dedicate everything to God, you are free from being affected by the dualities: ups and downs, pleasure and pain, merit and demerit. That means that you achieve the cessation of the fluctuations of mind, which is the goal of Yoga. Thought forms happen because of desires and because of the desire to possess the reactions of your action. When you are free of these desires, then there are no fluctuations; the mind is clean and enjoys rest. That is called tranquility of mind. Those interested in tranquility of mind should act just for the sake of the action, for the benefit of the universe, not for one’s own benefit. It is only when a personal motive is present that we are we subject to the dualities and that we become perturbed. It’s for our own peace that we dedicate all the actions to God, to Nature or to others
