Contentment.  A difficult topic to write on when one stands at the foot of the mountain.  There are saints, special ones, that can find contentment even in the wake of illness, poverty or what ever difficulties they may face.  For an ordinary man or woman, such as myself it is an ongoing process when you still have to put many right actions into place in order to reach contentment.  As a yogi, one should not feel the lack of anything and be naturally content.

Contentment is not only a state of the mind but also a soul without yearnings and distracting conflicts.

Personally, I see contentment in direct relation to right action.  We have joy and peace when we do right and should also have it when wrong has been done towards us.

It is an ongoing process.  Without contentment, it is difficult to tap into the cosmic energies and higher thoughts.

We need a certain extent of freedom from sufferings to grow spiritually.

For one, knowing the truth about your own body and life, brings tranquility.

Therefore, I would also say, contentment is closely related to truth.
