Just clearly see the craving mind that arises before we do or say or buy something and go somewhere. Afterwards, we go behind that craving. We go after accomplishing, satisfying and fulfilling that craving or the desire. We go behind the desire or the desire goes in front of us. We may be going to get friendly or angry with somebody, buy something from a shop, sell something, look at something, and eat something or whatever. See clearly the presence of craving before all three actions in life; thinking, talking and bodily movement. The desire first goes to the supermarket followed by us. The desire goes a lot faster than us. If the desire had not gone to the supermarket, we would not have gone there. The desire goes to the cinema hall before us. If the desire had not gone to the cinema hall, we would not have gone there. It is the same when you go to meet a person. When the desire goes to a particular place we are compelled to go. It is very difficult to resist doing something when the desire arises in the mind. If the desire has arisen to talk, it is difficult not to talk. If the desire has arisen not to talk, it is difficult to talk. As the desire is part of us and it has already left us, the remaining part is compelled to go behind it. Nobody can go in front of the desire. Nobody can say that he/she is in front of the desire. There are so many desires in front of us. After fulfilling a particular desire, we may say that no other desire is left. However, no sooner we go passing that bend, we get to see many more desires ahead. At every moment, all of us are miles behind the desire. As we do not like this distance, we keep running to get close to the desire.
