Yeah, I know.  Many people are very busy and "fulfilled" in life.  Congratulations.  I hope you don't get peace!  Just kidding.  Right?  To those who find peace boring, Knowledge can be a tedious task at times.  Me?  Just give me a little peace, and I want more!  I'm greedy that way, I guess.  But I also know that Knowledge was talked about as the wish-fulfilling tree by some like Ramakrishna.  Remember the 4 blind men who examined the elephant?  One thought it was like a tree trunk, one thought it was like a tree branch, one thought it was like a twig and one thought the elephant was a banana leaf.  Some who've received K experienced peace, some love, some joy, etc.  I suppose it delivers whatever one is looking for.  If one doesn't want peace, one doesn't get it, I guess.  To me, I am firmly convinced that my mind does not really want peace.  Oh, it talks a good game.  But I think deep down, the mind is terrified of peace.  Thankfully, my heart loves peace.  I'll nurture that part of me every time.  Good luck, Dant.  Whether you feel peace or not, you're alive.  I'm sure you're thankful for that!
