What we see with our eyes need not be the same as what it is.
The things that looks glorious / awesome @ one point time may
not be the same @ another. Let it be anything .,
So, it is THE MIND which decides whether it gives happiness or not. To normal individuals it requires something from external world for the mind to feel happier.But the real fuel for happiness is inside the SELF.
Many of us would have been already read something simillar to the ideas that i'm spelling out on these lines.But the realistic meaning of these things would be understood only when ONE experiences.
Tamil Legend Thiruvalluvar says in one of his Kural:
" From what ever things u detach urself
u are relived from problems caused by those things "
The Bharathi also express the same thing in his Nirpahuvae Nadapaduvae... .
So collecting more things (including Money) will cause more problems.
Moral Of the Story Is :
Please don't depend on any external entity for ur happiness.
Be a creator of Pleasure Waves.
All the scientific inventions are targeted at controlling the external atmosphere where we live in. But more than this what we need is the tool that would be able to control innerself.
Can one day Technology will deliver such tool ?

Happiness / Sadness and all other emotions are just unto US and totally are driven by - the momentary mood swings of our mental state.
if for a minute, one can come of out his/her mental state of emotion and analyze - it would be a surprising find that nothing else around us has changed and everything is as exactly as they were earlier - including people and the environment, BUT FOR OUR OWN MENTAL STATE!
This realization, brings in more assertion to the concept of illusion. :)
Once a person has achived this level of realization, life just gets better.
life is like onions, and such realizations help us peel the layers (thus, levels of realizations) until you reach to the inner core - to find - nothing! :) what do you have in the inner core of an onion???
so is life - covered by layers of illusion, where realizations help peel each layer, with the help of the elements of time and experience.
the concept of illusion in itself is recursive and leads to the quest of absolute... which is out of reach of our puny minds! :) (just my thoughts!)
I do agree with that.
Being knowledged about many things also creates some problmes.
I feel at times that innocent also keeps us happy.
I feel that "Saranagadhi" to almighty is THE only way of leading a complete life.
Do u agree?
கந்தபுராணத்தில் இதற்கான விடை இருக்கிறது.
பிரம்மாவின் மகன்களான 4 சனகாதி மாமுனிவர்கள், எல்லா வேதங்களையும் கற்றறிந்த பின்னும் - ஞானத்தை அடைய முடியாமல், கற்கக் கற்க - மேன்மேலும் சந்தேகங்கள் பெருகி, சிவபெருமானிடம் சென்று சரணடைகிறார்கள்.
சிவபெருமானும் தயைசெய்து சனகாதி முனிவர்களுக்கு ஞானேபதேசம் செய்கிறார்.
மனதை அடக்கி, தன்னை மறந்து, சின்முத்திரை/ஞானமுத்திரையில் அமர்ந்து ஞானமார்க்கம் உபதேசித்து அருளுகிறார்.

all the above for "saranaagadhi" :)
