The saints, mahapurushas, spiritual masters and god-men tell us that the river of desire flows in two opposite directions - good and bad, auspicious and inauspicious. We all have thoughts which flow in good and bad directions.
MAHAPURUSHA: A great soul.
MAHARISHI: Great sage
MAHASAMADHI: The departure of a Self-realized saint from his mortal coil.
MAHATMA: Great soul
MAITRI: Friendship.
MANAS: Mind.
MANONASA: Destruction of mind.
