DESIRE AND ASPIRATION
What is the difference between desire and aspiration and between selfishness and self-realisation?

Desire is a vital movement, aspiration is a psychic movement.

When you have true aspiration, unselfish and sincere, you do not any more put the question; for the vibration of aspiration, luminous and calm, has nothing to do with the vibration of desire that is passionate and dark, often violent.

Selfishness means wanting everything for oneself, understanding nothing but oneself, being busy with others only to the extent that they are necessary for oneself or for the importance they have for oneself. In French self-realisation (realisation du Soi) menas discovering the divine centre in oneself. In English, self-fulfilment is generally taken in the sense "to be successful ". Sri Aurobindo in his writings used the word " self-realisation " to mean realisation of the self, that is to say, being aware of the Divine in oneself, being identified with Him.
