I agree with you.
When there is no joy in you, you become a pleasure seeker. - Jaggi Vasudev
Being in the natural state of awareness brings with it joy and peace, which is superior to the pleasures of the senses. There are other spiritual exercises too in this regard as well like prayer, pranayama, charity, selfless service and so on which can bring joy within.
