2011-02-08 Satipatthana Sutta, Third Foundation: Dividing the Mind Through Desire 54:27
Rodney Smith	Download Listen
Desire forms the sense of self by fracturing the mind into what it wants compared to what it has. In moving with what it wants, it has to dismiss or resist reality (what it has) and form its own imaginative response. The sense of self is part of that fantasy buildup and has a central role in keeping it going.
