I'm really loving the subtleties in each of your posts. I have spent many years thinking about and practicing this but your posts are bringing me much to reflect on. Gratitude!
This is a very subtle and fascinating article. Could you expand a bit more on some actionable points when a desire arises?
My observation:
The arising desire essentially is an act of agitation. However when I am about to drop the agitation and enter the resolution, nothing feels different. Resolution with the desire and without the desire feels the same. So the logical part of my mind goes into a tailspin and attempts to exert control over everything.

Hey Prash -- this is a very good question and one I think warrants a full post and not just a response in the comments. Will get one written up soon.
Really appreciate it Arthur! 😃
