Desire as Lust
by Atman Nityananda
Lust (and especially sex lust, and food-drink lust) is a degradation of desire and is the most powerful aspect of desire that causes craving, passion, greed, delusion attachment and identification, pain and suffering.
Lust is also what causes a feeling of dissatisfaction that manifests itself almost constantly in us, discomfort, and also a feeling of lack, that something is missing, I want something to feel ok.
Lust's foundation are the rajas (primarily) and Tamas qualities (gunas).
