Remember that contentment will not make one an idler. It is an attribute of true pure (Sathwic) character. It will make the mind turn always towards the Lord. It will save you from the tribulations one goes through to satisfy unimportant wants and to cater to selfish needs. It will direct human talents towards efforts that elevate. The contented person will also be truthful and will therefore be in constant communion with the Atma. That is to say, such a person can be immersed in meditation for long periods without rest or feeling fatigued. Contentment is the royal road to meditation. ( Geetha Vahini, Ch 1)
