Desire is an illusion originating from judgment. It is an attempt to acquire something from the misperceived lack of happiness, originating from the mind.

However, when the desire is fulfilled, often times joy is perceived as a result of the obtainment. In actuality, the fulfillment of the desire is temporarily moving aside it’s own blockage to experience happiness, thus resulting in another illusion of cause and effect.

This is a tricky illusion, but when completely understood/realized, a tremendous amount of relief and unconditional Joy becomes present.
