Meaning

That thing that's, like, total poison at first, but then becomes straight-up nectar? Yeah, that's some next-level sattvic happiness. It's all about that self-realization, that inner peace.

Commentary

Okay, so like, at first, it's gonna be a total bummer. Giving up all the fun stuff, the comfy life, and doing all that intense spiritual stuff? Major pain. It's like, seriously hardcore. Think extreme self-discipline, total sensory deprivation. It's gonna SUCK. But, like, eventually? OMG. It's total bliss. You're gonna be vibing on a whole other level. Think ultimate knowledge, pure peace, and eternal happiness. It's the ultimate glow-up. It's legit, I'm not even capping.
