Summary

This quote suggests that if we intensely desire something, we will likely obtain it. However, paradoxically, it implies that if we let go of our attachment to that desire, the desired object or outcome may naturally manifest in our lives. Therefore, it encourages people to have discipline over their cravings and to cultivate a mindset of detachment, suggesting that this attitude may lead to a deeper sense of fulfillment and attract positive things into our lives.
