My mind is unable to grasp the subject of "desires" ?

i came to know that desires multiply itself.As per Mr x we should not feed our desire. May be written in books that we should not have more desires.

This spritual concept is so hard to understand coz i know that i am defining "desire"in view of material world.

Anybody who have deeper knowledge on spritual concept of "desires" please explain.

1.Why it is wrong to be desirious ?

2.Is it not desire itself which says to control desires ?

3.In this mean world every people act only because they have desire ?

4.By desire they mean desire related to only material world or all kinds of desire ?

    A desire is merely something you want,physical or non-physical.You can want an ice cream cone,which is physical.Or,you can want love,which is not physical.To be master of your desires is to want nothing.
