Discard Lesser for Greater Joy. {30.}
Discard Lesser for Greater Joy. {30.}

“If a person who enjoys a lesser happiness beholds a greater one,
let her or him leave aside the lesser to gain the greater.
I reached in experience the nirvana that is unborn, unrivalled,
secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.
This condition has indeed been reached by me
that is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand,
tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle,
and to be realized only by the wise.”
---- Gautama Buddha.
