“It is a basic human need that everyone wants to live a happy life. For this, one has to experience real happiness. The so-called happiness that one experiences by having money, power, and indulging in sensual pleasures is not real happiness. It is very fragile, unstable and fleeting.

As long as there is misery at the depth of the mind all attempts to feel happy at the surface level of the mind prove futile.”
