Happiness!

          
 Life is struggle. The struggle to make money, to feel comfortable and luxury. Whatever we do, we do essentially for happiness. Even in Religion, we do for happiness. Do we get it?
Some people think that a partner, a good congenial partner, may be a source of happiness, and it may be temporary sources of happiness, but not the real sources of happiness. When we are separated for some reason or other, as sooner or later we will be, we feel unhappy. Do we really understand that the outside sources are not the real sources of happiness; the main thing is the mind? Do we really understand only the mind which is controlled and cultured is the real source of happiness? Are we ready to train our mind? How much are we generous with our time to train our mind?
We should try to learn to be contented and happy with what we have. Here I would like to share a short story:
A certain oriental king who was very unhappy sought the advice of a philosopher. The philosopher advised the king to search for the most happy and contented man in his kingdom and to wear his shirt. After a long search the king finally found the man, but he had no shirt!
