So I'll give you like a really simple example.
I feel hunger, but I don't need to satisfy it with a burger.
That's a want.
I don't have to, I should eat a salad.
I want a burger and hunger.
Does that kind of make sense?
That's how you triangulate to dharma.
So the hunger, and then what you do is you pay attention to what satisfies the feeling.
It's not a desire and it's not a should.
I will feel proud if I eat a salad.
That's wrong direction.
I love it when I eat a burger.
That's the wrong direction.
What makes me feel sated?
What makes me feel content?
How do I remove the hunger?
And so if you look at like sattvic food from ashrams, you'll feel a lack of fulfillment from the dopaminergic standpoint, but your body will feel good.
And so dharma is about feeling, and feeling comes from within, should comes without.
Want is to run away from yourself.
Does that kind of make sense?
