Sukh, Shanti and Anand

[mk]

Namonamah,
In another thread, Subhashjee has said that anand=sukh +shanti.

Is sukh possible without shanti?
Is shanti possible without sukh?

Thanks and regards

MK,

Shanti is of two types: Peace of mind and peace of soul.

Sukh is of three types: Comforts of life, Health of Body and Mind, SWANANDA.

In the equation, ANANDA = SUKH + SHANTI it is ATMASHANTI + ATMASUKH.

Peace of mind is possible without comforts of life, peace of mind is possible without ATMASUKH. SHAREER-SWASTHYA is possible without peace of mind and ATMASUKH. Comforts of life are possible without Peace of Mind and ATMASHUKH provided body is healthy.

AtmaSukh is the first step towards AtmaShanti.

God bless you, God bless all,
Subhash

Namonamah,
Thanks, Subhashjee.

Does it not mean that sukh implies all the three types of sukh together; and shanti implies both types of shanti  together?

Thanks and regards

MK,

No. Three types of Sukh are different and their means are also different. Comforts of life through money, peace of mind through PUNYA, Healthy body through lifestyle and exercise and good thoughts and good habits and ATMASUKH through Divine Meditation.

God bless you, God bless all.
