Nowdays is very commom to hear people say "When I get this I will be happy...When I move to that place then everything will change, then I will be happy and fulfilled". But what is really happening is we are postponing being happy, we stop living the present, and have only eyes for the future (or past), but what about the present? What's with it? The mind gets trapped here and there and forget to live the most valuable time which is NOW!
Basing happiness on material things or places is a danger. Because the phisical eyes will get tired of what it sees, then the feelings which were present before after sometime come back. One will ask what's wrong? It's just that the eyes, which are the doors for the process of thoughts-fellings will get tired of seeing the same thing and will want something new.
Matter can deceive one easily, nowadays with so many gadgets available and new things coming up, it's easy to think that it's for our own good, yet it's made for that purpose, but it's going all the way around, it's actually making people get stuck on taking too much time to choose wether take this one or that one.
the feeling of "I don't have time" or "I need to do something" are coexisting. If one is too busy one complains, if its quiet then there are also complains. So what is it? Desires! The present society shows that "When you have it, you will feel so much better, so buy it, what are you waiting for, it's on sale, come on" adverts which of course will lead one to taking it, thinking obviously that the object mentioned will somehow fulfill the emptness one has inside. But this feeling will only grow deeper, case one will find that, anything external can actually NOT make one happy. Why? Case you are an spiritual being, therefore spiritual experiences (not material things) iswhat will make you actually happy! And one is in deep stillness of mind one will realize "I need absolutly nothing" case one is already complete.
No desires, no future, no past, only the timelessness of the PRESENT.
