Desires

Question: When we want to get something, and when we get it we feel satisfied. But that stays for just couple of seconds, and then the satisfaction just goes away. If the thing remain with us, the satisfaction should also remain. Why it does not happen that way?

Answer: When we get some thing we want, our desires lower down which makes us feel better. However the fruits of Kashaya karma keep coming, and because of no purushath of soul, he keeps having desire of some object or the other.

And just for the momentary satisfaction, he keeps running for collecting things he want. Though he does not realize that it is just momentary. When he gets it, only then he feels better- afterwards he is indifferent to it, and he looks for other things for satisfaction.

Because of not able to realize the above fact he keeps running for things- while the way to get satisfaction is to vanish all the desires.
