You must learn to not be enslaved by your mind. When your mind produces a desire, a fulfillment, an outcome, you move toward it. If you don't move toward it physically you move toward it mentally, energetically, or emotionally.

You are enslaved by thought, enslaved by the ego, enslaved by desire.

Instead of reacting to desire, try being with desire. Simply roll it around without acting on it or resisting it. Watch carefully what happens in you physically, emotionally, energetically, mentally, spiritually. Watch very carefully indeed and ask yourself what is the nature of desire, what is it really at its very essence.

When you have fathomed this you have fathomed the source of the ego-self, the stunted growth of past reference and fear itself. When you have fathomed it you have gone to the substance of bondage so that the road to liberation is laid before you.
