To live happily, it is very necessary that you should always be happy with your mind. No matter how much material wealth, property, facilities, position, prestige, fame etc., if you are unhappy with your mind, then your life is in vain (unsuccessful).
People understand that whoever has material wealth, property, motor car, house, bungalow, high position, respect, fame, etc. in the country and abroad, people go after him, feed him good food, talk sweetly with him. Respected in all respects, such a person is very happy. But this is a great illusion.
It is right that because of the material facilities that person has more, his life goes on a little easier. His work gets done easily. He saves a lot of time. But it should not be taken as happiness. Happiness is a matter of the mind. The above mentioned physical facilities are the subject of the body, that is, these facilities make it easier to live a physical life. Still, unless the mental state is good, the soul cannot be happy.
In the end, these physical facilities also benefit the soul, which is being enjoyed by the body, and also the mental state. Body, senses, intellect, mind etc., all these substances are inert. They are not enjoyers. The enjoyer is the soul. But the point to be considered is that "does the soul benefit more by means of material wealth, property, etc.? or from mental happiness, contentment, etc."? The answer to this is seen in all the scriptures and in practice, that the person who is happy with the mind, that person is in more profit. He is really happy.
In ancient times, great sages, sages, saints, saints, gentlemen were considered happy, and are still today. For what reason were they considered happy, or are they still considered today? Because they are happy on a mental level. They have very little physical facilities. Very rich people have material assets. Still those Seth people remain very sad. Anxiety is caused by stress. And even now-a-days those who are gentlemen, are honest, intelligent, learned, religious, virtuous, have character, are free from deceit, deceit, etc. are more happy. This shows that material facilities, wealth, etc. are a small means of happiness, and happiness of the mind is the greater means of happiness. Only the soul gets happiness from both the means. Therefore, the great source of happiness is the happiness of the mind, this happiness of the mind comes, not without it, by imbibing good qualities, deeds, and by giving up the vices of deceit, deceit etc.
Therefore, imbibe the qualities of good deeds, civility, humility etc. Live life honestly. You will always be happy with your heart. Only then will your life be successful and meaningful. And your age, knowledge, power, intelligence, and joy etc. will continue to increase forever.
