without desire, there will be no human progress, how then can you justify asking people to live without desire?

Without desire, there would be no human progress. That is a fact. But does it mean that we should stop asking people to live without desire? Not necessarily! You see, living without desire does not mean living without ambition. It simply means to be content with what one has, to not be attached to material things and to not be too focused on the future. In fact, living without desire can actually be a positive thing. It can help us to be more mindful, to appreciate the present moment and to be more accepting of life. It can help us to be more independent and to focus on our inner selves rather than on the external world. At the same time, living without desire can also be a challenge. It requires us to let go of our ego and to stop chasing after material things. It requires us to be content with what we have and to not be too focused on the future. But if we can manage to live without desire, then we can use that contentment to focus on the things that really matter. We can use our newfound freedom to be kinder to others, to be more creative and to strive for personal growth and self-improvement. So, while it may seem counterintuitive to ask people to live without desire, it can actually be a positive thing. It can help to cultivate a sense of inner peace and contentment, and it can help us to focus on the things that really matter in life.
