Remember Adam & Eve story.
Adam = Reason
Eve = Emotion
Desire causes Emotion to succumb , followed by Reason.
Buddha also declares desire as the root cause of the evil, rebirths, sorrows & misery. And it is the desire(of pleasure) which prevents man from salvation/nirvana.
Desire occurs in various organs of body, stomach causes hunger & activates desire to eat & causes a person to salivate.
Similarly
sexual organ --- sexual desire
Eyes -- sights, travel
Ears -- music
Nose -- smell of scent
If desire is nothing but cells requirement in organs, then it means that cells functioning needs to be checked up. And in cells , its the nucleus which does everything and in nucleus , it is DNA.
So , is the DNA, the root cause of desire?
And since the DNA is a coiled of structure, is this the serpent , the devil which is mentioned in genesis , the one which caused eve to eat the apple( desire).
I know many would say that DNA is the foundation of life without which no living being can exist.
