If a person’s basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for
this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience. On the other hand,

distress, then even if he or she happens to be enjoying physical comforts, he
will not really be able to experience the happiness that these could bring.
~Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

Until we drive away...
