Happiness Or Satisfaction

HAPPINESS and SATISFACTIONIf somebody asks that what the world is for? Nobody will challenge me or my answer i. e. the world is for happiness. From top to the bottom, rich to the poor, north to the south, east to the west , everybody craves for happiness. Not even humans, but all creatures as well, expect, thrive for happiness. Happiness or satisfaction depends from person to person. Its taste differs from a creature to a creature. But what you do not know is happiness or the satisfaction is of 2 types. 1. Happiness receiving from outside. 2. Happiness receiving from inside. No. 1 is easy to understand I. e. you gain happiness by looking at outside. e.g.; children, wives, husbands, environment, money, wealth, etc. What you mean is in simple terms is by looking at pictures of outside. Not even pictures, once you hear a sound, you smell an odor, tastes a meal, sense tactile, and all are outside happiness es. But what you do not know is, these outsiders may change their shapes, so that sorrow or pain will come to you and to your mind. e.g.; the most loved garden herb that you have previously grown might die one day . i. e. the expected picture for you to keep it as it is , is no more now, so that you feel sorrow now. Likewise you can think of billions of examples, not the pictures, but other senses as well. So conclusion comes………Happiness given by outsiders is not long lasting, not permanent, it might change and giving you sorrow. Reason is, the environment you expect to keep within your wish is not keeping as it is …. It is changing from time to time, so that what you are trying is to reset the environment to keep it under your wish, but again it is changing , so that living a life is a fight , is a war to all creatures . You yourself shoulder a big burden mentally because of this changing process . This is the reality of the world , no matter wherever you have born , in America or in Russia , this reality is the same . Then the final conclusion comes….I . e .1. happiness you gain from outside will never be permanent . 2. due to the changes , you feel sorrow .3. outside happiness can not be kept under you or, your wish . Lets take the 2nd one and see whether it is also giving us the same result?Happiness gain from inside. In this case , you are not going to get anything from outside or you expect nothing from outside and just see the mind as it is and how it operates or works . That’s all. Once you go on a little by little in search of mind , then you see how it operates or works so that happiness will come to you which is eternal , never changes , because you do not have outside material now . if you want to see outside material and gain the happiness cause those 3 phenomena which I mentioned earlier . but in this case , no outside link so that you do not have any problem whatsoever . To see and find out this inside happiness you have to do Meditation under the proper guidance of a proper master , which is essential in this case . so that it is up to you to decide what happiness you select either 1 or 2 . Finally I must tell you one thing in my experiences , I .e .if you start the type 2 , one day you feel , for what purpose you suffered or for what purpose you worried about the outsiders.
