Satisfaction
"You were sent here to utilize an ability that is inherent within you and that will require that you realize your true nature, even as you prepare to realize it. You have all come prepared to do something very good for life. That produces satisfaction."[1]
"You will never be content until you find your purpose in life. Accept this. You cannot be content with less."[2]
Directives
"If you are serious about developing Knowledge and reaping true satisfaction in this life, you must be very firm but very open."[3]
"If your mind is open and has become balanced and whole, then the reality that creates can create through you. That is the greatest experience of satisfaction and fulfillment in the world."[4]
"The less you have preference or insistence from your personal mind, the more you will be able to experience Knowledge and have it express itself through you. That is the greatest privilege and satisfaction."[5]
Deep satisfaction
"We are speaking of a greater experience of satisfaction, harmony and ability than most people would strive for."[1]
"Perhaps you have this greater freedom to consider who you are in this changing world, what you really have to contribute, what would give you the greatest and deepest satisfaction, and where you could make the greatest contribution to a world in need. For your soul will only be fulfilled by discovering, expressing and fulfilling this greater purpose. No amount of pleasure or comfort or recreation will satisfy the deeper need of the soul."[6]
"Often, people say, 'All I want is a true partner in life, a true relationship. I want to be married. I want to have a family. That is all I want.' And I say,'Well, that is very good. Go spend time with people who have that and ask yourself if you want to have their level of satisfaction.'"[7]
True satisfaction
"Even if you have a great position and have acquired wealth and stature in society, the empty nature of your life will be pervasive unless you have found your greater work and are doing it to the best of your ability.
Those who do this experience a satisfaction and a sense of value and power that are lost to everyone else, no matter what they proclaim for themselves."[8]
"An abiding sense of purpose, meaning and direction in life"…"gives you a sense of satisfaction and makes it possible for you to truly relax."[9]
Active, not resting
"Satisfaction is something you can acquire in a state of action or movement."[2]
"Successful accomplishment"…"will yield satisfaction to you."[1]
