Sadhguru
Is contentment just holding myself back from my ambitions?
Contentment as containment
Contentment means containment, and you contain yourself because you are afraid that if you overstep, you may suffer. If you know how to be blissful by your own nature, you have no fear of suffering and you can walk full stride.
Contentment means containment. Why would you want to contain yourself? Because you are afraid that if you overstep, you may suffer.
