Is there merit to rising beyond pleasures?
Pleasure begins with the senses—raw and primal, like an animal savoring its meal.
As intellect awakens, sensory pleasures fade, replaced by the joys of thought.
The higher one ascends, the subtler the delights are said to become—intellectual pursuits overtake base instincts.
Yet, even intellect is eclipsed when spirituality dawns, revealing bliss incomparable to all else.
