THE PRACTICE OF MIND-CONTROL

Saved from these three gates of darkness, man works out the good of his self, and reaches the highest goal.

XVI-22

True happiness does not come from that which at first is like nectar, but which in the end becomes, indeed, venom.  Self-control leads to true happiness, though in the beginning it is hard and bitter.

Of three kinds of pleasure, that in which one by gradual practice rejoices and in which one finds an end to grief, which at first is as venom, distasteful, but in the end is like nectar;  that pleasure is said to be Sattvik, born of the clarified understanding of the soul.

XVIII-36, 37
