Craving Has No End — Contentment Alone Is Supreme Bliss
기원후 3~12세기경 편찬(구전 격언시)
ORIGINAL
अन्तो नास्ति पिपासायाः सन्तोषः परमं सुखम् । तस्मात्सन्तोषमेवेह धनं पश्यन्ति पण्डिताः ॥ (anto nāsti pipāsāyāḥ santoṣaḥ paramaṃ sukham, tasmāt santoṣam eveha dhanaṃ paśyanti paṇḍitāḥ)
📜 THE VERSE
There is no end to craving for more — contentment alone is the highest happiness, and so the wise regard contentment itself as the true wealth of this world.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Can I decide for myself the point at which 'this is enough'?
📝Reflection
Craving only grows larger the more it is fed, so chasing it can never lead to happiness. This verse reverses the whole direction — the true wealth is not gaining more, but declaring for oneself, 'this is enough.' Contentment is not something that arrives from outside; it is something decided within.
