True Contentment Is Not Settling for Meager Gains

True contentment is not settling for meager gains. It is the understanding that when you find yourself in wholesome karmic conditions, you apply steady, sincere effort to settle your mind and walk the path of practice. It is not settling for meager gains, nor is it growing arrogant and conceited when you are blessed with good fortune. The greatest pitfall in practice is looking down on others. When you are content with few desires and share the merit you’ve cultivated through practice with others, that is the enduring, abiding joy of true contentment.
