If true desire is an essential component of one's essence or says something about one's true identity then why advocate agaisnt its' expression? Being made in the image and likeness of G-d and inheriting true desire from G-d, and then actualizing or expressing that, would seem to me something sacred and not unholy as I understand Rabbi Friedman suggests.

It's All About Desire
In describing G-d’s relationship with creation the Midrash says: The holy one blessed be He, desires a dwelling place in the lowest world. Desire, implies not that the project is unnecessary, rather it is essential to Him.
Topics: Dwelling for G-d in the Physical World (128),  Creation, Purpose of (44),  Korbanot (75)
