Week 2 (9/21/22)
- PAQ Question: What is Happiness/Peace/Joy?
- What is the point of this Battle if there is no Peace? What is the purpose of all of our accomplishments if there’s no contentment in our lives?
- Pleasure: external (as a result of fulfilling a desire)
- Peace: internal
- Pleasure feels good in the short-term but in the long-term makes us unhealthy/worse off
- What do you feel when you’re the happiest? You feel in the moment (flow state)
- Happiness is really the quietude of the mind→ the more pure you mind is (free of vices) → chitta shudi→ we are able to direct our thoughts to the Higher
- According to Sri Krishna, Peace is whenever we work to fulfill our responsibilities (Karma Yoga) without worrying about the result of the action
- To gain purity of the mind, fulfill responsibilities
