满足
Satisfy
After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains.

The mind is a machine that is constantly asking: What would I prefer? Close your eyes, refuse to move, and watch what your mind does. What it does is become discontent with that-which-is. A desire arises, you satisfy that desire, and another arises in its place.
大脑就像一台机器,不停地在问:我更喜欢什么?闭上眼睛,拒绝移动,观察你的思想在做什么。它所做的就是对现状感到不满。一个欲望产生了,你满足了那个欲望,另一个欲望在它的地方产生了。
