"A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves"

This quote by Swami Sivananda speaks to the continuous cycle of desire and complete satisfaction that exists within the human mind. The mind is constantly looking for something, whether it be material possessions, relationships, or experiences. However, as soon as one desire is fulfilled, another one develops, producing a nonstop cycle. In between these desires, there is a minute of best calm and peace in the mind. This is a minute of flexibility from all ideas, feelings, and attachments. It is a state of total peace and contentment, where the mind is not swayed by any external factors. This quote reminds us to discover peace and contentment in today minute, rather than continuously chasing after desires.
