As strange as it may sound, meditation may reveal that we are happier than we thought we were. We may discover that ancient conditioning rather than present circumstances is causing our dissatisfaction, and that this moment is quite sufficient or even wonderful, and we simply hadn’t noticed.

So true…. I discovered some peace while doing meditation. It was like being aware of a peaceful state… unfortunately it did not last long.
