True happiness is achieved by eradicating the latent tendency of desire and aversion, through the equal observation of pleasant and unpleasant sensations with a perfect understanding of their changing nature.

However, the mere intellectual knowledge of the impermanent nature of the phenomena of mind and matter can only partially purify the intellect. It does not change us in the depths of our minds, where we remain slaves to our behavior patterns by continuously reacting in total ignorance.

Therefore practice, not concepts. The description is not the chocolate!
