Dissatisfaction | The Soul’s Search for Satisfaction

DISSATISFACTION

The soul’s fundamental nature is described as:

Dissatisfaction

This is connected to the idea that:

The Soul is Emptiness

The teaching links this idea to the realization of Buddha and many awakened beings.

Because of this nature, the soul continually seeks different forms of satisfaction, including:

Physical

Emotional

Intellectual

Social

Spiritual

Ego-inflating experiences

For the soul:

Every little pleasure counts

Every surprise counts

Every sensation counts

Every moment of realization counts

Every miracle counts

Oh Soul! What a thing you are!
