I hear you gathering from this i assume you define it as calmness and peace ?

Maybe mix in being content.
But that can lead to complacency which may lead to laziness. Which can spiral quickly to an anxious moment.
So maybe a temporary or momentary feeling of complete calm or peace. (And that moment can last for varying times).
Because nothing can be sustained forever.
Very fair definitely making good points
too much thinking. the answer isn't in the intellect, the Mind knows: the blue mountains, the green flush of prairie grass after it rains, the baby crying, the jet flying overhead.

Yes this too. But how will you achieve any of those moments if you do not have the time to ponder and observe.
Unfortunately life is more than just taking in things.
Unless of coarse you’re born into riches. Then thats a whole other onset of potential problems.
who says using Mind isn't active? our true Mind is totally engaged. it's the same Mind that children have when they are absorbed in something they are discovering. it never leaves us. we leave it.
the intellect is like a pocket knife. pull it out when needed, then put it away. would you carry around a pocket knife with all the tools and blades open all the time?
