Santhosham

Of all the gifts you receive from God, the greatest gift is Santhosham (contentment). The opposite of Santhosham is sorrow, which is the fruit of desire that arouses hope and almost always results in disappointment or despair. One desire engenders another and proliferates into a hundred, even when it is fulfilled. It knows no justification and has no end. So, Santhosham is the supreme blessing of the Lord, who in His infinite Love, puts an end to that unquenchable thirst. No wealth or other attainment can equal it in efficacy, Santhosham is the culmination of desire in full contentment and sacred satiety.
