Contentment

Contentment

Contentment is our inner state.

It arises after being one with the ONE, which is always total, 100%, absolute, infinite.

Peace precedes contentment.

When contentment is not 100%, it is not contentment.

Inner contentment reflects externally as 100% acceptance.

When contentment is not 100%, it reflects externally as desires.

Contentment is an experienceable state; acceptance is its external manifestation.

And how do you get inner peace?

Meditation.

नास्ति बुद्धिरयुक्तस्य न चायुक्तस्य भावना |
न चाभावयत: शान्तिरशान्तस्य कुत: सुखम् || 66||
nāsti buddhir-ayuktasya na chāyuktasya bhāvanā
na chābhāvayataḥ śhāntir aśhāntasya kutaḥ sukham

BG 2:66
One who is not connected ( with self ) ( ayuktasya ) cannot develop buddhi ( wisdom ).

He cannot meditate ( Bhavna) either.

Without meditation, there is no shanti (inner peace).

And

Without inner peace, there is no sukh ( contentment ).

When contentment is not 100%, it is not contentment.

Inner contentment reflects externally as 100% acceptance.

When contentment is not 100%, it reflects externally as desires.

“Inner engineering” is necessary for happiness; contentment is one of those necessary components.

It comes in the company of the ONE.

But these cannot be “practiced”; they have to arise

Shrenik Shah: Desires cannot be crushed; they can only be temporarily suppressed.

The real problem is not the desires; it is the lack of contentment.

We need to explore and find contentment.

Contentment is timeless and infinite.

In the light of contentment, desires disappear.
