Contentment.

The ordinary man earns a living, eats three times a day, amuses himself with trival entertainments, remaning engrossed in the mechanical performance of material dutes  without ever awakening to the importance of understanding the purpose of life : attaining true happiness and sharing it with others. The wise man gives up false pride in self-perfection, the thought that “I am all right as I am.” Using the net of introspection,  he catches delusion and destroys it. Forsake the slumber of ignorant habits and awaken  wisdom by performing those good habits which alone can free life from danger and crown it with lasting happiness.

~ Sri Paramahansa Yogananda,
