The above statement reflects that the root causes of negative external manifestations of acts or thoughts of humans are his endless desires. There are no end to desires, and one desire leads to other. Thus, while an external enemy is finite and can be defeated, the real challenge is in defeating our internal enemy of desires which is endless and infinite.
Even in Indian context, Buddhism also argues desires as the root cause of all evils. Thus, Buddhism advocates elimination of desires for achieving happiness. Even, Gandhi Ji also emphasized on the virtue of self-control for achieving happiness. His famous quote - "While there is enough for everyone's need, there is not enough for even one person's greed" reflects the role of self-control for peace and sustainability.
Public administrators are the guardians of public interest. However, as of today they have come to be characterized by self- aggrandizement, self-promotion, self-interest etc, a manifestation of inability to control internal desires. This had led to corruption, crony capitalism, nepotism and favoritism in public affairs. Self interest has replaced public interest. Thus, the need of the hour is to promote the principles of self-control among public administrators. It must be remembered that administrators are not only public servants but also expected to be model citizens. A self-controlled public administrator will not only lead to an efficient, public-oriented administration but also sustainable society.

Humans act are determined by his thoughts, desire, mind. If he has control over his desire than he can control his outcome and can better concentrate on his goals. His efforts will be targeted and better planned. Human desires are unlimited, if you don't control them, in the end you will realize that you haven't made good efforts for even one.
Yogis, Buddha achieved enlightenment by controlling their desires. For all this one need strong will to achieve goal & stick to his principles. There will be many difficulties but strong will, principles will help him sail through. External enemies are small, limited in number but if the desires are allowed to grow it will become unlimited, uncontrollable and ruins our life.
The Public administrator is also expected to act on same lines. He is expected to act in larger public interest and to keep his personal goals, desires away from his work. He is given public authority, powers to punish, backing of law etc to act impartially. He has to control his desires to not use same resources for his personal interest. Sticking to his principles help him having larger personal satisfaction, public respect, act in larger public interest, serving his duty well.
