The key to desire management is to run our desires through a 3-filter test.
How does this test work?
It’s simple.
First, we need to check whether the desire is a dharmic one.
Is it a rule-breaker? Is it against the law? Is it in line with what the scriptures would say? Does it destabilize or hurt anyone or anything around us?
Second, is it moderate?
Or over the top? Extremes are usually to be avoided.
Third, does it have a spiritual angle?
So that’s the 3-filter test for desires. Pretty awesome, no?
