spontaneous happiness

Desire is the seeking of pleasure, continuation of sensation by thought. In the shadow of desire there can be no spontaneous happiness. The process of desire is time. There is a tremendous amount of energy caught in desire. When we realize that desire is destroying the present, there is a release of energy, which is spontaneous happiness. In that release, the sense organs become more active, natural enjoyment increases manifold. Our education system does not teach us to be free of time, it only cultivates the paths to pleasure.
