Kama : Desire

-----------------------------------------------------

Kama : Desire : Kamaha Kamakrut Kanta Kamah Kamapradah Prabhuh Vishnuh : Vishnu Sahasranama

Bhishma in Vishnu Sahasranamam tells us that Vishnu is

  • kAmahA – the one who destroys desire and kAmakRt – the one who causes it.
  • he is kAntah – the one we desire
  • kAmah – the desire itself
  • and kAmapradah – the one who gives us what we desire!

My Veda Guru says that it is Vishnu we seek when we desire anything. Once we get the Bhagavad-Tatva (Divine essence) from any thing –

 even dinner for eg, we lose interest in it.

Like kids on the beach we pick up each shell and see – is this it? and throw it away once we know that this piece isn't it.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.

  Every moment, thank God
