THERE are three desires which every "I" cannot
escape from. "I must live" is the first. The will to live is overpowering and
paramount. This is the urge for immortality. "The desire to know" is the second.
This too is unquenchable thirst and is an indication of the position of which
the "I" is the inheritor. "The desire for joy" is the third, prompting man
behind the senses into the outer World for pleasures. This evidence shows that
deep in the core of the "I" there is a spring of "Ananda" which seeks its mate
and its fulfillment. - Sai Baba
