“Niramisa sukha arises from understanding the wider worldview of the Buddha and tilakkhana. One cannot be forced to calmness. Learning and grasping the Dhamma will bring progress.”
Oh, so I had it wrong: I thought I first had to calm down (mostly via moral living), then get niramisa (via formal sitting meditation), THEN I could start learning and grasping Dhamma. Alright, guess I still haven’t collected enough signposts yet. =)
