Daily Quotes- JK-Day1-Dissatisfaction · Escapes · Flame of discontent · Transformation Most of us, right through the world, are disturbed and discontented. Being dissatisfied, we want more prosperity, more things, more books, more amusement. But there is a deeper discontent which is not satisfied by external acquisitiveness. We then pursue inward acquisition, the mind demanding complete satisfaction from this endless discontent. We seek something that is enduring, satisfying, and we call it by different names: God, truth, bliss, happiness. The things we invent, the symbols we have, the pictures, the paintings, the music, the museums, the endless forms of outward expression which will be satisfactory, sexually, psychologically, intellectually – that is what most of us are seeking. Man is always seeking, and the search is brought about by his deep inward discontent, dissatisfaction, frustration, despair; and the very seeking brings about its own conclusion-From Collected Works, Vol. 17
