Question

paragraph on the value of inner satisfaction

Answer 1

On the points of calmness and inner bliss and joy, most of us have some idea of what a calmness within our being feels like. Most of us have been agitated and know what it feels like to be in an inner piece relative to our agitation. We all have probably observed an agitated pool of water with ripples and a calm pool of water with no ripples. Most of us have probably experienced the equivalent of these two states within our being.

However, this inner satisfaction and bliss is something different. It is not joy or pleasure as mind understands it. It is not joy, pleasure or happiness in contrast to pain. One can be in a deep inner bliss and inner satisfaction even when in pain. In fact, the inner satisfaction can make the pain understandable and tolerable.
