Next At the gates of Moksha and Sakshathkara, there are three guards posted to ask you for your credentials. Even if one of the guards is made to become friendly, the others will facilitate your entry. First in the series is Santhosha. It is as much as an empire. Without contentment, Kama and Lobha attain dangerous proportions and will overwhelm the power of discrimination itself.
Desire easily becomes greed, and greed degenerates into miserliness and lust.
They make you flit from object to object in mad pursuit of the evanescent sensual joy. And without Dhyanam, no one can get Daivam, or Godhead. Take me to the Lord instead. Giving up all other desires and ever content, dwell on His Name and His Rupam only, to the exclusion of everything else. Dhyanam on these is real Santhi, genuine Santhosha.
