Desire is a psychological movement, and it can attach itself to a “true need” as well as to things that are not true needs. One must approach even true needs without desire. If one does not get them, one must feel nothing. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/desire#p32</ref>

The desires come from outside, enter the subconscious vital and rise to the surface. It is only when they rise to the surface and the mind becomes aware of them, that we become conscious of the desire. It seems to us to be our own because we feel it thus rising from the vital into the mind and do not know that it came from outside. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/desire#p32</ref>

Desire-soul,—that is the vital with its mixed aspirations, desires, hungers of all kinds good and bad, its emotions, finer and grosser, or sensational urges crossed by the mind’s idealisings and psychic stresses. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/basic-requisites-of-the-path-i#p10</ref>

The vital is the being behind the Force of Life; in its outer form in the ignorance it generates the desire-soul which governs most men and which they mistake often for the soul.
