This quote has very deep meaning...it is a psychological truth. Psychology in the Ancient Greek - psyche-soul...logos-word/law - laws of the soul. I have said for years: the Christians who are waiting around for the 'second coming' missed it in Gurdjieff.

Also, I think you misunderstood the meaning invested in the quote entirely. It has nothing to do with enjoyment. Happiness, in Gurdjieff's sense of the word, is very different from what is usually considered happiness by most.
