Bodily pleasures strengthen identification with the body and inflate the ego, while the pleasures of Consciousness dissolve identifications and bring inner peace. To “please Consciousness” means to give it something higher than bodily gratification such as truth, awareness, and self-observation even if that displeases the body. True spiritual joy is not excitement but the subsiding of doubts, conflicts, and inner disturbances; it is the pleasure of disappearance, similar to deep sleep. He emphasizes negating what is false, including the ego itself, without seeking future guarantees of truth or bliss. Ultimately, one should value and pursue the higher joy of Consciousness rather than remain trapped in lower sensory pleasures. 🎧 Listen to Acharya Prashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2QmVEAAnsNE7Xs0MW0Li8Y?si=09fbcbc7c99c469b&nd=1&dlsi=2d753e5523df4ceb Music Credits: Milind Date ~~~~~~~
