Jota se jota jaga, sattva, guṇa, sattva, jaga, sattva, guṇa, sattva, jaga, sattva, jaga, sattva, jaga, sattva, jaga, sattva, ... jaga, sattva, jaga—this too is complete. It is very difficult to realize completeness in life. When we have a feeling that something is missing, our consciousness is not oriented toward completeness. Even with material desires, you feel something is absent. You are not happy; you are suffering; you are not content. If you feel only this, it means there is no completeness. Or it means you are not aware of your completeness. That I am Pūrṇa, who is Pūrṇa, does not depend on anything. When this is missing, then feelings of being lost, lonely, and incomplete arise. Everything comes from the Pūrṇa, exists in the Pūrṇa, and dissolves in the Pūrṇa. This realization can only take place if you have in your consciousness the completeness, the Pūrṇa. This Pūrṇa should be forever, not temporary. We sometimes feel complete, but only for a time. Then suffering, loneliness, a sense of missing, and the unfulfillment of desires return. Desire automatically means incompleteness. Desire means that something is missing and you would like to refill it. No desires means there is completeness. What does it mean to have hunger? That your stomach is empty. And what does it mean not to have hunger? Your stomach is full. What does it mean to have thirst? There is a lack of water in your body. And what does it mean that you do not have thirst? There is enough liquid in the body. Similarly, any desire means something is missing. And when there is something missing, it is not complete. Therefore, develop in your consciousness the completeness. That is why it is said: reduce or overcome your desires. Each desire demands immense attention from you. Each desire means it is dividing thyself. Each desire means creating duality, and each desire means leading to an end—meaning, to disappointment. This means that consciously, intellectually, and emotionally, we are divided; we are separated from the consciousness of the Pūrṇa, from the being, from the state of the Pūrṇa or its realization.
