Another way to look at anandamaya-kosh and desire:
Desire for happiness is what motivates people to keep on acting. We keep on looking for happiness in materials, power etc (kama-artha-etc. ). Even after achieving them we remain dissatisfied, it is then that people get inclined towards 'moksha'. It is moksha that is the final goal of our desires, the final limit point for the locus of our efforts to obtain happiness.
In that sense anandamaya-kosha can be called the final resting place of our desires, where our desires finally come to an end.
