' Burning all desires '...

The thought of God is like a fire which will burn
all desires.

The highest knowledge is nothing
but the deep feeling of the presence of God
everywhere.

That is the highest wisdom and that
will give a death-blow to other desires of the world.

The desire for God is a desire to destroy all desires.
