You quote a Burmese meditation teacher who says, in their quest for happiness, people mistake excitement of the mind for real happiness. You go on to talk about how you sort of discovered that yourself over time on meditation retreats and different things. And it wasn't until I actually discovered that the really blissful joy, the peace that comes from simply being and actually curiosity taps into that same thing that I was blown away by how much more rewarding that was.
