Question: Can we get complete happiness and complete - TopicsExpress



          

Question: Can we get complete happiness and complete transformation through Vipassana? Goenkaji: It is a progressive process. As you start working, you will find that you are experiencing more and more happiness, and eventually you will reach the stage which is total happiness. You become more and more transformed, and you will reach the stage which is total transformation. It is progressive. Question: You said Vipassana makes one truly happy. But to remain happy and peaceful even when confronted by the suffering of others - isnt that sheer insensitivity? Goenkaji: Being sensitive to the suffering of others does not mean that you must become sad yourself. Instead you should remain calm and balanced, so that you can act to alleviate their suffering. If you become sad, you increase the unhappiness around you; you do not help others and you do not help yourself. That is why my teacher Sayagyi U Ba Khin used to say that a balanced mind is necessary to balance the unbalanced mind of others. vridhamma.org/Question-and-Answers#happiness
