samvega - 'It's a hard word to translate because it covers such a complex range - at least three clusters of feelings at once: the oppressive sense of shock, dismay, and alienation that come with realizing the futility and meaninglessness of life as it's normally lived; a chastening sense of our own complacency and foolishness in having let ourselves live so blindly; and an anxious sense of urgency in trying to find a way out of the meaningless cycle'."Affirming the Truths of the Heart: The Buddhist Teachings on Samvega & Pasada", by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
