You cannot get rid of the desire. By getting rid of the desire the ignorance will not vanish. 

Ignorance will vanish only when you realize that the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is the cause of the illusory universe in which you exist. 

If you aspire to desirelessness in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, if you aspire to desirelessness in waking, the waking becomes unreal when you realize the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

The Soul has no desire because it is ever nondual.  The desire to have no desire is also a desire.

Desirelessness is not Advaitic wisdom. Even having an urge to realize the truth is also a desire.  

Whether you have desires or no desires, ignorance will not vanish till the ‘Soul’ remains the domain of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

By remaining quiet, within the dualistic illusion wisdom will not dawn.  The ignorance vanishes only when you realize the ‘Self’ is not ‘you’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.  

Wisdom dawns when you realize the world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.   Thus, the whole objective universe is nothing but consciousness.:~Santthosh Kumaar
