Friends:
Tranquillity
is the way to Superhuman Delight!
Tranquillity
comes due to insight. As he is sitting, whether by
night or by day,
then he experiences neither fatigue, heaviness, rigidity,
slowness, nor sickness
in his body, nor in his mind, but
rather his body and mind are
tranquil, very light,
adaptable, pliable, quite sharp and ultra-clear! With his body and mind aided by
such tranquillity, he experiences a
superhuman delight, about which it is said:
A Bhikkhu with his mind all
quiet...
Retired to a remote & empty
place.
There right insight in the Dhamma,
Awards him a superhuman delight!
It is because he really comprehends
The rise and fall of all phenomena
That he relishes this high happiness:
A silent joy
not of this world!
A bliss transcending the human!
And knows it to be the deathless...
Dhammapada
