This audio excerpt explores the nature of attachment and desire and how they relate to our pursuit of happiness. It posits that we are naturally drawn to bliss, and our minds become attached to things we believe will bring us happiness, leading to desire, and subsequently, greed or anger. The speaker argues that this cycle can be broken by shifting our focus from worldly pleasures to the pursuit of happiness in God. This is done through repeated contemplation and fostering a desire for divine connection, thereby transforming worldly desires into spiritual aspirations. The speaker uses the story of a district collector and several examples to illustrate the power of belief in shaping our choices and provides a practical method for breaking bad habits by convincing the intellect of the greater long-term happiness in choosing spiritual pleasure (shrea) over immediate gratification (preya).
