Be careful of ....
Hi
Be careful of your desires, make a mental picture of what you want and set your will to this until it materializes. Never allow yourself to drift without helm or rudder.
Does "be careful of your desires" mean that one should carefully pick the things which one desires, because for example some things may be bad?
Doesn't helm and rudder mean the same thing? Or maybe "rudder" is more like a compass?

Yes to the first question; no to the second. The rudder is the board in the water and the helm is the wheel or pole which moves it. I agree that compass would have been a better word than rudder here.
