Constructive Desires

A lethargic and lazy mind and body can also be desire less of doing any work. This is when a person feels lax in life and does not proactively do any activity.

Desire to acquire something material is what drives a man into action and plants the idea of fruits earned there after. This is constructive desire. Until the man works and fulfills the basic needs, the desire plays the role of fuel. Its only after this desire outgrows its size to completely engulf the man into greed, the desire then is turned destructive.

Once a man has acquired the goal of desire that initiated the work, the man should continue his work in the desire less mode - Karma yoga mode. Work with the intention of pure desire less motive is worship in the form of Karma yoga.
