I put that piece in there you didn’t like, to remind people, there is a source of joy within. We become what we meditate on. Know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free. When I was 20 years old, I wanted to know the Truth within me, the life force. I experienced a lot of bliss and happiness within the first few years of meditation. Raj Yoga. Very powerful stuff. With that inspiration, I began my journey on the path. Many wonderful things happened, as a result, better health, the mind less active, more centered, more kind, etc. But ultimately, my focus has always been on cultivating my focus on the source of joy within. And, you are so right on your last comment, this is often not an easy path. The mind is incredibly strong and threatened and creates many challenges. Thank you for reading and I’m glad you liked most of it!! Blessings to you Shiva.
