DESIRE

Dislike towards something unpleasant is common. The mind constantly fluctuates between likes and dislikes. When a pleasant thing comes to a person he is happy, but soon after when something unpleasant occurs he is pained.

Thus the whole world is divided into 2 opposite extremes for the common man.
So long as there is pleasure there will be pain also. So long as there is joy there will be unhappiness also.

Pair of opposites always agitates the mind and lord mentions in gita very clearly about how they act on us and disturb and distract us from the path of self realization.
It is a delusion caused by the pair of opposites,  like pleasure and pain, heat and cold arising from desire and aversion

Freedom from attraction and revulsion will eliminate the pairs of opposites
When there is no desire to enjoy a particular object there cannot be any pain resulting for the non possession of such objects
 nor the hatred against those who stand in the way of such enjoyment.

Even if the desire is fulfilled the desire itself will not die with its gratification.
It seeks for more and more enjoyment and there is no end to desires.
So this subtle and powerful enemy should be fought with discrimination and dispassion and rooted out of the end.

MAN IS THE MAKER OF HIS OWN DESTINY BHAGWAD GITA

man is the maker of his own destiny. he reaps what he sows. good and bad knowledge and ignorance follow every being like his shadow from birth to death.
never indeed anyone who does good ever comes to greif or bad state 
the lord blesses all those who are engaged in good work. though the aspirant fails to achieve  perfection.

yet he does not suffer destruction either in this world or in the next. that is the lords promise to all seekers. it is like life giving elixir to all people by being and doing good.

in fact, to the ignorant, the world presents the curious spectacle of bad people enjoying  more material comfortsthat the good and righteous. but a closer look into

the facts of life show that the wicked and evil-minded are daily undergoing lower destruction in ther own heart of hearts, and they shall be hurled into lower and lower planes of existence.

 the good live and thrive in the sunshine  of gods grace, though materil riches they may not posses. they need have no doubt about their present or future

because the lord here declares that they will never come to a bad state. let this promise of lord be remembered, whenever doubt or fear enters ones heart.
“do good your future is assured”

this is the lords call to all seekers it is implied that evil doers suffer a terrible doom here and here after. so let nobody indulge in sinful activities.

the lord gives the hope that whatever is left undone by the  seeker shall be completed by him in a latter life to come.
