“The pleasure one experiences on achieving a goal or acquiring an object of desire is wrongly ascribed to achievement or acquisition. The joy does not come from fulfilling the desire. Instead, cause-less joy—which is our true nature—shines unobstructed when we are momentarily without desire.”

-Sri Atmananda
