Salam Kasih
Dear all
There are three types of happiness. These correspond to the three forces which bind the body to the soul: peace, assertion, and passivity.
First there is the happiness that comes from always doing what is right. This leads to the end of all sorrow. It may at first seem like bitter poison; but eventually it turns out to be the wine of eternal sweetness. This type of happiness is pure, and it arises from peace.
Secondly there is the happiness which comes from the pleasure of the senses. At first this seems like sweet wine; but eventually it turns out to be bitter poison. This type of happiness arises from assertion.
Thirdly there is the happiness that comes from the pleasures of sleep, indolence and intoxication. From beginning to end this happiness is delusion. It arises from passivity
Inner peace _/I\_
