Chapter 18 verse 37
“That which seems like poison at first, but tastes like nectar in the end, is said to be happiness in the mode of goodness. It is generated by the pure intellect that is situated in self-knowledge.”
There
are 2 paths-path of the pleasant and path of benefit. The path of pleasant
might look nice and easy at the beginning but leads almost always to sorrow.
The path of benefit would start off difficult but when sustained, would lead to
the eternal happiness we all seek. This beneficial path is taken by persons who
possess pure intellect and seek happiness in the mode of purity. Short term
pain to attain long term gain!
