Desire is the root of all suffering – a restless wave in the mind.
Every craving starts as a single thought.
Left unchecked, it multiplies, pulling us into an endless loop of wanting, chasing, and inevitable disappointment.
The key isn’t to battle every desire, but to stop the first one itself in its very tracks. Before it grows, before it controls us.
Master the mind at the source, and the cycle of longing and sorrow fades on its own.
