Do all desires get planted on the soul from outside, or is there any such thing as a soul’s own desire? A desire to be prosperous, a desire to be happy, a desire to be free, a desire to be bounded by a contract like a marriage or a job, a desire to be spiritual, a desire to be materialistic – don’t they all sprout from external things, people and ideas? They all belong to the mind, not the soul. What, then, is a soul’s own desire? Does it always have to follow the mind it’s attached to?
