Please take a minute today to read this beautiful article written by Sally Kempton about finding one's true joy. Kempton, also known as Durgananda, is a meditation guide and spiritual teacher. In the article she talks about the journey to recognize that "Joy Is Inside You". She uses the yogic concepts of Sukha (fleeting pleasure), Santosha (contentment), Mudita (spiritual happiness), and Ananda (the bliss that passeth understanding) to teach us that happiness is always available to us, no matter what our circumstances. The point is to move away from grasping at fleeting pleasures and really tap into what is inside. She urges us to make the practice of attracting and cultivating joy our life's work. What else is there?
