Desire-Will-Deed

"You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed."  — Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

This has been said long ago even before human desire became obsession and this obsession a pain for others. I feel that this cannot be true always as we sometimes do not desire what we get. Can we pin down all our failures to psychotic desire which deep inside us is actually working against us?Can we assume that there is no force beyond us controlling our desire, will and deed?That means we are the one controlling all that is happening around us.This is a very interesting thought.This takes away the pleasure of making God , my punching bag for all my failures where I feel I have done my best and still have not met the desired result.This puts all responsibility on me and myself that I somehow have not desired right, somehow my will was not strong enough and that has effected my actions and hence the deed is done little short of success.
