Do not worry about desire leaving you; it will leave on its own. Wanting to not desire will make you think it will leave in some point in time. In fact wanting to be free of it is another desire. That will happen only Now, whether you're thinking about it or not. If you are suffering from something from wanting to be free from something that will only cause more suffering because you are waiting for some point in time to be free of it. When you focus your attention truly in the now, those thoughts begin to melt away, and what you once thought that was a problem is not anymore.
You can waste time in a Buddhist monastery waiting to be enlightened, but the whole deal about enlightenment is that there isn't one. I'm not saying there is something wrong with that, but what happened when you thought about being in a monastery? Instantly already you stepped out of the now thinking you will be somewhere in a imagined future "enlightened". Enlightenment is about recognizing thoughts as just thoughts! What is left when you realize that thoughts are just thoughts? There isn't this I with ideas you have to destroy. This isn't to say to start destroying your thoughts because that is another from of resisting them. To resist them is another ego, another problem usually equals victim of sufferer. So once you start letting go, you will see. For the first time you begin to open your eyes and give Love for the first time.
Desire will leave. Why you might ask?It is a part of ego's to make you believe that in some point in time you will be free. For some it happens, for some it doesn't. This is like playing the lottery, but in this one people always win.You might believe you might win because a lot of people win, but when you don't win, you will suffer for it because it doesn't happen. You might blame other people. But blame your own judgments. That doesn't sound interesting anymore does it? When you are present with desire you see the futileness of it, because you create it now and only exists now. It is only a thought without out it you slowly see reality.
There is a song I really like, and I think that Jared Leto, a Lead singer for 30 seconds to mars really has some goods insights to his song. The song is A Beautiful Lie. The whole message of the song is that what we really want is the thought of Being in love rather than actually being in love. That is the beautiful lie. When we think we are in love we are just in love with that thought! THE thought of being in LOVE. When people say I am in Love, they are in Love with the "I" that is in Love. How crazy is that! Anyways be sure to check out his songs they are grand
