Yet, we all experience pleasure when we get whatever it is we want. Everyone universally experiences this happiness, pleasure, contentment, peace, etc. when he or she satisfies a desire. What it does to our minds is common to all experiences. For a moment, the mind is freed from the tyranny of longing and desire. The implications of this are profound and far reaching.
Happiness is the mind freed from the tyranny of desire.
The desiring itself is my suffering. Freedom from desire is freedom from suffering. Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were a way to experience this happiness, peace, contentment, etc. If this were so, we would be free. This is the great secret of the spiritual life.
