ON TRUE HAPPINESS.
I. 4. 12. The pleasure demanded for the Proficient's life cannot be in the enjoyments of the licentious or in any gratifications of the body - there is no place for these, and they stifle happiness - nor in any violent emotions - what could so move the Proficient? - it can be only such pleasures as there must be where Good is, pleasure that does not rise from movement and is not a thing of process, for all that is good is immediately present to the Proficient and the Proficient is present to himself: his pleasure, his contentment stands, immovable.
Thus he is ever cheerful, the order of his life ever untroubled: his state is fixedly happy and nothing whatever of all that is known as evil can set it awry - given only that he is and remains a Proficient.
If anyone seeks for some other kind of pleasure in the life of the Proficient, it is not the life of the Proficient he is looking for.
