Satisfaction. Desire. Sattva.
The #1 problem for humans...revealed!
According to the Yoga system, there is one basic problem that disturbs the mind: a compulsion to look outward, rather than inward, for satisfaction.
The mind attaches itself to a “sense object,” an object of desire: food, sex, money, power, cars and clothes, etc, in the false belief this object will deliver satisfaction.
The experience of happiness that depends on an object will ultimately come to an end. True satisfaction, the state of Sattva in the mind, is content and unmoved by desire.
