32nd Sutra Ch 2: 2nd Niyama: Santosha
Santosha, ie., Contentment is developing the faith that steadies the mind.
And is enough to take us to Self-realization.
Put simply, the first two Niyams can be stated as follows:
Eat clean.
Get fit.
Be content.
We lack nothing.
We only have to use what the Divine has already given us.
