1
00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:20,200
I think it's the same person says my point is you You can't live without your desires Hmm Can't you I think you can

2
00:00:22,610 --> 00:00:30,444
Well, the next question on there is, someone states there is a difference between desire and need.

3
00:00:30,525 --> 00:00:34,572
For example, food is needed to live and so is water.

4
00:00:35,193 --> 00:00:38,880
So they are not desires if you don't

5
00:00:39,113 --> 00:00:41,858
get carried away with them dogs.

6
00:00:42,299 --> 00:00:44,483
No, it's not really like that.

7
00:00:44,543 --> 00:00:50,936
An arahat eats not because they want to or need to eat.

8
00:00:51,537 --> 00:00:55,384
They eat because it's appropriate to eat at that time.

9
00:00:55,364 --> 00:01:03,220
They eat because somehow in their life that is the natural course of affairs.

10
00:01:04,142 --> 00:01:07,529
It's not even because of a need because an arahant can just starve to death.

11
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:15,145
It can happen that they just don't eat for whatever reason and pass away into nibbana.

12
00:01:15,125 --> 00:01:37,808
it can be that they just don't do anything um so it can be that you it could you could be in a certain yes actually what you're saying is true in certain instances what this guy is saying it can be possible that you're in a situation where due to a lack of desire you don't live

13
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,545
Even people who are not enlightened can come to that.

14
00:01:40,626 --> 00:01:50,110
But enlightened beings especially could come to the situation where not having desires leads them to pass away.

15
00:01:51,608 --> 00:01:56,777
But it doesn't follow what you're saying is that you can't live without your desires because you certainly can.

16
00:01:56,837 --> 00:02:03,869
You don't need desires to live, you don't need desires to eat, you don't need desires to act, to teach or so on.

17
00:02:03,889 --> 00:02:05,412
I mean the Buddha was a very good example.

18
00:02:05,432 --> 00:02:11,001
The Buddha had no desires and yet acted and taught and helped.

19
00:02:10,981 --> 00:02:38,878
countless beings become enlightened simply because it's what he did it's where he was going he was set in that direction and he was impelled in that direction from every corner people coming to ask him to teach people coming to ordain with him and live with him and so on people coming to criticize him and so on so he responded naturally to all of this without desires

20
00:02:41,491 --> 00:02:42,305
without needs.
