Spiritual progress is often compared to climbing a steep mountain. Each step requires not only a strong grip but also unwavering focus.
The journey can be strenuous and challenging, particularly when it comes to letting go of old habits and the persistent tendencies (vasanas) that we all carry.
However, with a pure mind, one can endure this struggle, which may initially feel toxic but ultimately leads to a profound happiness akin to nectar—this is the bliss that arises from Sattva.
On the other hand, if one seeks immediate pleasures through the senses' contact with external objects, this is referred to as Rajasic happiness.
While such pleasures may seem appealing, attractive, and easy to attain at first, they tend to drain energy and lead to loss and fatigue over time.
