As soon as pleasure is over, there is a sadness or pain of its departure. And then of course, the next seeking of pleasure… etc, etc.
Banking on this cycle for happiness is a dicey game subject to the roller coaster of giddiness to devastation, satisfaction to disappointment–never steadiness and deep happiness.
Investing in this tank of pleasure and pain is not in your best interest. Some of us are thrilled by its vicissitudes, others sickened by its unpredictable careening.
Through regular meditation and yoga, we can find greater steadiness, peace and joy in the midst of all the vicissitudes.
You can bank on it!
