Pain or pleasure, joy or misery, agony or ecstasy, happens only inside you. Human folly is that people are always trying to extract joy from the outside. You may use the outside as a stimulus or trigger, but the real thing always comes from within.
Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev (born 1957) is an Indian mystic and humanitarian. He is the founder of Isha Foundation which administers yoga centers around the world, including India and the United States.

If you use any external activity to create an inner situation, you naturally get enslaved to that external activity, and that becomes the condition for your joy. That's the basis of your slavery and bondage; unless you change that, you will never know joy as a way of being.
