Answer question 1.9

How to conquer my desires

If you really want to get rid of those, then finish them off: ‘throw them in the bin’.

We don’t think asceticism is the final solution, but it may prepare us for the real confrontations and temptations.

This answer is simple but we know it’s not as easy. Will power is needed. It is possible that we have not well developed our will power, through being spoiled, or worse, by using drugs to avoid any confrontation we have destroyed some of the potential will power. In this case the struggle is extremely difficult. We have first to build up one’s will power again. We can always do this.
