Today's subject is 'Beyond desires'. Every Master has to speak on a few things; he has to give his ideas, opinions, definitions on a few basic things. This is the basic need one is death, another one is life, and the third important thing is how to escape from death and the problems of life. All enlightened beings have to touch these subjects, they can escape even from talking about god. For example, Buddha never said yes or no to questions about god. Whenever people asked about god he would tell, 'Hey, why are you bothered about god? Let us bother about you and me.

Desire is something which is related to all these three. Desire is life. If you don't know how to handle desire you will face death. And if you know how to handle you will go beyond this cycle, that's all.

Understand, there is no Master who did not talk about desire. It is an important subject that every Master has to address; in some way he has to touch this subject.

Today we will see the great Master Mahāvīra handles this subject of desire from different dimensions, different angles, that empowers you to create more wealth and handle it. These are beautiful sutras (verses); when you practice them, the result will be totally life-transforming.
