- We all share the same fundamental wish to be happy and avoid suffering. But if we look, there are two kinds of happiness: one is based on comfort and sensual pleasure and the other is founded on a deeper, mental contentment. The former is rarely fully satisfying while only the latter brings about the real peace we all seek.
The energy we spend accumulating material, outer wealth leaves us little time to cultivate the qualities of contentment and patience which are our inner wealth. Outer wealth may still leave us dissatisfied and discontented while inner peace and contentment allow us to remain satisfied even through the most difficult circumstances.
It is foolish to look for happiness outside ourselves because we have no control over outer circumstances. All the causes of happiness are already present in our hearts and minds. Therefore understanding the mind and the nature of mind is the way to find inner peace and contentment.
