Desire & the state of happiness

It is desire that prompts all beings to action. Desire when analyzed shows that there is either a memory of past experienceof pleasure or a vivid imagination of possible pleasure and that tjere is present prompting to secure that pleasure, coupled with a present inability to grasp it immediately. This simultaneous consciousness of conceived pleasure and the present absence of the same alongwith the present inability to enjoy it cannot but give rise to a state of mental disturbance of a painful character. Desire by itself therefore cannot be a state of happiness.
