just want to share this with everyone.
The likelihood of you experiencing a jhana is inversely proportional to the amount of desire that you have for it.

    The outcome of any desired possibility is inversely proportionate to the degree of it's desireability
    is also an explanation for dukkha

    But paradoxially the likelihood of experiencing jhana is also proportional to the time and effort one invests in samatha practice. :p
