Sadhguru's quotes are sometimes quite enigmatic. At other times, they can be quite straightforward. The quote I chose for today is quite simple.
Pleasure is the sensation that comes from stimulating your senses. To experience pleasure, one only needs to stimulate the senses. But sensory stimulation is very superficial. While it can become addictive, it cannot fulfill a deeper longing within.
Joy is generated from within you and can flow outwards to fill your entire being. Joy encompasses the mind and emotions as well and not just the physical body. Joy fulfills like pleasure cannot.
If you do not feel joy, then you are only satisfying your senses. The pleasure obtained from stimulating the senses can be satisfying for a while but after that, the pleasure will start to feel empty. That is what leads pleasure addicts to keep seeking higher doses of stimulation or other avenues of pleasure. It can become a self destructive spiral.
In our life, we want to become joyful.
