Satisfaction of desires breeds misery

Only contentment can make you happy -

desires fulfilled breed more desires.

Keeping away from all desires and

contentment in what comes by itself

is a very fruitful state - a precondition

to the state of fulness. Don't distrust

its apparent sterility and emptiness.

Believe me, it is the satisfaction of

desires that breeds misery. Freedom

from desires is bliss.
