The Secret of Fulfillment of Desires

 Parables by Swami Ram Tirtha 


There was a man, writing a letter to a friend whom
he was pining for and longing to see. He had been
separated from his friend for a long time. The letter
he was writing was a long, long letter and he wrote
page after page. So intent was he on his writing that
he did not stop or look up for a second. About three
quarters of an hour he spent on the letter, not
raising his head during the whole time. When the
letter was finished and signed he raised his head and
lo! His beloved friend stood before him. He jumped
to his feet, and going to his friend embraced him,
expressing his love. Then he remonstrated. "Are
you here?" The friend answered; "I have been here
for more than half-an-hour." Then the man said, "If
you have been here so long why did you not tell
me?" The friend said, "You were too busy, I did not
like to interfere with your work." So it is, so it is.
Your desires are like writing the letter. You are
craving, willing and washing, hungering, thirsting,
worrying, all this is writing the letter, and you go on
writing. He whom you are addressing the letter, the
objects that you desire are according to the secret
Law of Karma, already before you. But why do you
not feel them, find them before you? Because you

desire, you are writing the letter. That is the reason.
The very moment you cease desiring, you give up
writing the letter, you will find all the desired objects
before you.
MORAL: Desires are fulfilled the moment you
cease desiring.
