More From Sivananda

The principal cause of suffering is craving. once craving is eliminated, much suffering will be eliminated. still more suffering will be eliminated once ignorance is eliminated. both craving and ignorance are equally powerful defilements that cause suffering.

The way of the lord is the way of happiness. ‘wickedness never was happiness’ [alma 41:10]. transgression never was happiness. sin never was happiness. disobedience never was happiness. the way of happiness is following the way of the lord. i believe this with all my heart.

The end of 'the end' is the best place to begin 'the end', because if you read 'the end' from the beginning of the beginning of 'the end' to the end of the end of 'the end', you will arrive at the end.

I think we all mistake certain things for happiness. i think we mistake comfort for happiness and we mistake pleasure for happiness, and entertainment for happiness, when really these are just things we use as proxies for our happiness. we use them to cheer us up or try and achieve brief happiness, when really happiness is something much more profound and long lasting and exists within us.
Cheer Mistake Thinking
If a bell failed to ring, if a stove smoked, if a wheel on a machine stuck, you knew at once where to look and did so with alacrity; you found the defect and knew how to cure it. but the thing within you, the secret mainspring that alone gave meaning to life, the thing within us that alone is living, alone is capable of feeling pleasure and pain, of craving happiness and experiencing it- that was unknown. you knew nothing about that, nothing at all, and if the mainspring failed there was no cure. wasn't it insane?

There are people who buy pictures because they were difficult to do, and are done. such pictures are often only a record of pain and dull perseverance. great works of art should look as though they were made in joy. real joy is a tremendous activity, dull drudgery is nothing to it.
Perseverance Art Pain
Sounds travel through space long after their wave patterns have ceased to be detectable by the human ear: some cut right through the ionosphere and barrel on out into the cosmic heartland, while others bounce around, eventually being absorbed into the vibratory fields of earthly barriers, but in neither case does the energy succumb; it goes on forever - which is why we, each of us, should take pains to make sweet notes.
