Trishna

Trishna - Craving.
Triveni - The place where three holy rivers meet.
Tushti - Satisfaction.

Shanti or peace is in that man who has given up mine-ness and I-ness, who has given up trishnas (desires, longing for objects). That man alone will have peace. Peace is not in a dark bungalow.

When this tendency to feel contented is adopted by the mind, the perpetual happiness is not far behind. In fact the root of happiness lies in this tendency of the mind. And the root cause of suffering is in Trishna (thirst).

This misapprehension is called Avidya, which causes desire, or Trishna as it is called in Sanskrit. In the language of Vedanta, it is Avidya, Kama, Karma. Ignorance causes desire.
