1. A desire arises with the memory of a pleasant experience and past impressions.
2. A desire might arise through listening.
3. A desire can be triggered through the association of certain people and a place.
4. Someone else's need or desire may manifest in you as your own desire, e.g. when someone is hungry, you get a desire to feed them or someone wants to talk to you and you get a desire to talk to them.
5. The destiny or a happening in which you have a part to play may trigger a desire of which you have no idea. For example, a gentleman in Quebec, Canada kept making roads and working on a farm for 30 years, not knowing for what -- for it was destined to become our Canadian Ashram.
NEWS FLASH
After a brief halt in Delhi, Guruji arrived in Dharamshala as a state guest of the Government of Himachal Pradesh. A picturesque place with temples, snow-clad mountains and mango trees!! His Holiness The Dalai Lama warmly received Gurudev at his residence and had an hour long meeting. Later he met all the 30 Art of Living teachers and devotees and lauded their contribution to society. It was a treat to be in that atmosphere of love, laughter and total sense of belongingness.
