When you talk about spirituality you can&amp;#39;t leave out God. When you do, you are basically just talking about knowledge and intelligence. If enlightenment was what you say it is, then it would be very easy to reach. As one of the other comments suggests, it would only lead to frustration, or drive you mad. Even great knowledge and intelligence will leave you feeling empty. You cannot truly be enlightened unless you have made a connection with your creator. The only way to do that is to understand his nature which is to only give or create. Your happiness must come from creating something and giving without feeding your ego in the process. When you are able to do that is when you will feel enlightened.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7011281984485388812/8983005184895016522/comments/default/5508554183198992400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7011281984485388812/8983005184895016522/comments/default/5508554183198992400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.darshanchande.com/2009/12/how-to-get-rid-of-desires-and.html?showComment=1312702747201#c5508554183198992400' title=''/><author><name>DK</name><uri>http://davidkazaryan.wordpress.com/</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/openid16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.darshanchande.com/2009/12/how-to-get-rid-of-desires-and.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011281984485388812.post-8983005184895016522' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7011281984485388812/posts/default/8983005184895016522' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-923410765'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011281984485388812.post-4900530975644455738</id><published>2009-12-31T14:24:54.592+05:30</published><updated>2009-12-31T14:24:54.592+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Being an Atheist .... i don&amp;#39;t believe in the c...</title><content type='html'>Being an Atheist .... i don&amp;#39;t believe in the concept of some other &amp;#39;real&amp;#39; world ..&lt;br /&gt;For me ..this life/world is all i have ..
