This is really embarrassing as I havent done well on any of the three. Really need to work on it. If your desires are uncontrolled you will not be able to love and live life or even be a decent human being. Desires lead to anger and greed, and they all totally consume you and eat you alive and corrupt your mind and soul. Desire is the only obstacle standing in the way of true happiness and freedom, yet it is the most difficult to conquer, as acknowledged by Lord Krishna in the Gita (which I still havent finished reading). It is the 1000-headed demon Mahishasura, and each head you cut, you find that several new heads or new desires take its place. In such cases, only the blessings of the Divine Mother can help, yet we must make our best and sincere efforts first and get wisdom from wherever we can- the Gita, Upanishads, words of Buddha (who is himself the ninth Avatar of Lord Vishnu after Lord Krishna). Glory be to the most Highest Mother, without whose blessings we cannot escape the clutches of desires, Maya, and are doomed to get lost and drown in the sea of this world, the vast samsara of troubles and attractions. Jai Maa Durgay!!
