na alpe sukhamasthu

sir, tnx lot once again, for your kind words , i see this is the beauty of st, the site of spirituality,  the mirror helping me by showing my error, to correct and improve little by little. in association with all the wise spirituals here

the full import of spirituality and the clue for contentment is clear in your selected quote, though in quite different words

“Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.” -- Lao Tzu

i like to interpret this to my advantage to corroborate my statements above in my traditional lang

author has given the master key  ‘’non-being is the greatest  joy’’ which is truly the  state of self realization which alone can give the greatest joy and the ultimate contentment, health, confidence, surely and truly follow---and hence this stands as the basic requirement for accomplishing all the rest

till then, one must not compromise with small achievements. Since ‘’naa alpe sukhamasthu’’,  ie, in all the small gains there is no lasting joy and real contentment, so move forwards, stop not
