Senses And Ego Need Feed Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Pleasure is sensual gratification.
Happiness is mental satisfaction.
Pleasure is momentary and short lived.
Happiness is broad based long standing.

Pleasure is bound on senses, craving.
Diminishing utility theory will act.
Familiarity too much breeds contempt.
Familiarity, a little, will fetch interest.

Comfort is a pleasure; we spend for it.
Air travel is a pleasure for people.
Can it be for a pilot used to it?
Taste of water is from the tongue dryness.

Sexual pleasure is the peak of all joys,
A paramour gets a mileage from it.
A prostitute gets little pleasure of it.
You can recollect and feel happiness.

Pleasure is the peak; happiness is the base.
Shun not pleasure and shun not happiness.
Gratify senses and derive pleasure.
Gratify ego and get happiness.
