How can we ever be satisfied if the pleasure always neutralizes our desire?

How can we ever be satisfied if the pleasure always neutralizes our desire?

[Mike]

Satisfaction seems to me an illusory goal in this world. Intimations of some lost, higher state coupled with frustrated desires–perhaps the recognition that old age, disease and death come to us all– trigger the E=mc2 of the ego: a higher, eternal pleasure? Yes, I desire that now (my program warns me that this may also be illusory, but worth some effort just in case).  I would know more of this Masach “achieved internally by assistance from a higher level” that makes anything more than desire to receive for receiving possible in this life. What do the authentic sources say about it?

I think that our satisfaction should be; when we see that our effort solves other’s problems. The original purpose of the Creator is the enjoyment in this life, so if we somehow make possible for others that enjoyment,  even if initially is by physical pleasure, that must please the Creator and should accomplish the job. How? I don’t know.

Receiving for the sake of bestowing, pleasing the Creator. Pleasure from bestowing, pleasing others. Creating endless circles of flow.

When we reach to the spiritual world we get unbounded delight.

The wheel of pleasure/desire neutralization I think can be overcome by staying in the present in a state of gratitude, love and acceptance.
