A meditation on desire, devotion, and destiny — from the loss of a newborn calf to monks on the mountains in Ladakh. Tirath traces how temptation, money, and longing test the human heart, from family feuds and broken inheritances to moments of spiritual clarity under mountain skies. Drawing from the Bible, Gurbani, and Sonam Wangchuk’s example, she learns that freedom doesn’t mean following every desire — it means knowing which ones deserve your life. This chapter turns the ache of wanting into a lesson in grace, restraint, and purpose.
