Desire, Wish, Will

When a person says, 'I desire it', 'I wish it.'
it is an incomplete will,
a will which is not conscious of its strength,
a will which is no sure what it wills.
In that case it is called a desire, a wish.
But when a person say, 'I will it', it is definite.

When an idea or a thought that one would like a certain thing
is not yet made clear in one's mind,
when ones' own mind has not taken a decision,
then it is a desire, a fancy.

When is is a little more developed then it is a wish;
then it stays there and is not dispersed like the clouds.
It is tangible, it is there.

It is a wish as long as it is still:
although it is there, it has not sprung up,
it is inactive.

When the wish develops into action it becomes will,
it becomes a command.
