Negate Desires

Be simple and in tune with nature. But modern life is not conducive to that unless we use our will power to negate desires.... Every time we use our will power, it grows stronger. So we have will power, which is supposed to be the power to help us to evolve, the intelligence which is supposed to help us to think what is good for us on this evolutionary way, and the two together (the intelligence and the will) to move us on the straight path towards evolution. Both act against us because of desire!
