When Maharaj talked about overcoming desires, Shuk Muni said, “O Maharaj, we have attained you, so what is the power of desires?” Then Maharaj said, “You have attained me, so I will certainly protect you, but as long as desires remain, your fears will not be eased. Therefore, become desireless.” Then he gave an example, “Just as when a snake slides over a sleeping man and another person protects him, the sleeping man does still experience fear. Similarly, I will certainly protect you, but as long as desires remain, your fears will not be overcome. Therefore, become free of desires.”
