The eternal enemy of the jnani. Here, the term 'jnani' is used for discerning sadhaks engaged in sadhana. It is very well said here that the desire to attain the unattained is called kamana. Desires are of two types: one related to moksha and one related to the world. So, if they are related to the world, they are all called kamana. If they are related to moksha, they are called mumukshuta. If such a desire arises, it is called mumukshuta. The desire to attain the unattained is called kamana. The many subtle feelings that remain suppressed in the antahkaran are called vasana. From birth after birth, no one's (desires) are fulfilled. Since they are not fulfilled, they get suppressed. And they remain dormant. Then, when they get a chance, they jump up again. In the monsoon, when those puddles fill up, frogs croak 'draw draw draw draw'. Then, when the rain stops, the puddles start to dry up. They start to dry up and completely dry out in summer. So, in today's language, the frogs go into a coma in the mud. They go into a coma. Then, when the monsoon arrives and the first rain falls in the month of Ashadh and everything fills up, they start croaking 'draw draw' on the very first night. So, a suppressed desire is called vasana. It didn't get a chance at any time, remained dormant, and unfulfilled. Time does not look at anyone, does not wait for anyone. Whether this person's desire is fulfilled or not. This person still had to marry off their child's child. Such things, if someone is a grandfather, they might say. Everyone else has less (desires). When a grandfather is about to depart, many desires arise. So, if those remain unfulfilled, they all get suppressed, and that is called vasana. And the perception of a need for worldly things is called spruha. I have a great need for this. If I had five lakh rupees more, I could get a slightly better car. So, the perception that there is a need for this. That is called spruha. The Lord wrote in the Gita, "Na me karma karma Action. Deed.
