Contentment

He will fulfill the desires of those who fear Him, and will hear their cries, and will save them.

One to whom blame and praise are equal, who is silent, content with whatever comes, with no fixed abode, steady in mind, and full of devotion — such a person is dear to me.

Ever content, a true yogi, self-restrained, of firm resolve, with mind and understanding dedicated to me — the devotee who is such is dear to me.

But one who delights only in the Self, who is satisfied only through the Self, and who is fully content in the Self alone — for that person no duty remains.

Equal in sorrow and joy, abiding in the Self, treating a clod of earth, a stone, and gold alike; the same toward the pleasant and unpleasant; steady in mind; equal in blame and in praise of the self —

"That which is the infinite — that is happiness. There is no happiness in the small. The infinite alone is happiness. But one must seek to understand the infinite." "Venerable sir, I seek to understand the infinite."

Om. By the Lord alone is all this clothed — whatever moves and breathes within this moving world. Through that spirit of relinquishment, enjoy; do not covet. Whose, after all, is any wealth?

Content with whatever comes unsought, risen above all pairs of opposites, free from envy, equal in success and failure — even while acting, one is not bound.

Having abandoned clinging to the fruits of action, ever satisfied, depending on nothing — even while fully engaged in action, that person truly does nothing at all.

Righteousness is the greatest good; forgiveness is the supreme peace; knowledge is the ultimate contentment; and benevolence is the only true happiness.

God told Prophet David, 'The servant dearest to Me is one who doesn't seek Me out of fear or hope for reward, but to fulfill their duty to My divinity.'

One who is content with whatever they receive without effort, free from dualities, without envy, and balanced in success and failure, remains unbound even while acting.

Yogic practices alone are not enough; purification of the heart is essential. Self-reflection is necessary to eliminate faults and bad habits. Correct your flaws, such as selfishness, pride, jealousy, and hatred. Cultivate your heart by sharing with others and engaging in selfless service, which will lead to a pure mind.

We should not be content with just this; instead, we should not rest until this message of truth reaches every home.

Devotion does not mean running away from your duties; instead, fulfilling your responsibilities is true devotion.

Contentment brings us joy and happiness, while dissatisfaction leads to disaster.

O great Goddess! Now hear the method of meditation on the Guru — that which bestows all joy, eternally grants all happiness, and leads to both worldly fulfilment and liberation.

Salutations to the Guru, by whose mere remembrance wisdom arises spontaneously within, and who alone is the source of all fulfilment.

"He who meditates on water as Brahman obtains all his desires and becomes contented. He moves at will as far as water reaches — he who meditates on water as Brahman." "Venerable sir, is there anything greater than water?" "There is indeed something greater than water." "Then tell me of it, venerable sir."

"He who meditates on food as Brahman attains worlds rich in food and drink. He moves at will as far as food reaches — he who meditates on food as Brahman." "Venerable sir, is there anything greater than food?" "There is indeed something greater than food." "Then tell me of it, venerable sir."
