What is happiness? Where is it located? Let us embark on a thoughtful exploration of happiness on this episode. Drawing on ancient wisdom, we unravel the notion that real happiness isn't tied to material possessions but is a serene state of mind. Through personal anecdotes, like the fleeting thrill of acquiring a new TV, we reveal how external objects only offer temporary satisfaction and often lead us back to dissatisfaction. This episode is an invitation to reflect on why we chase after things that don't bring lasting joy.

Our discussion unfolds a profound truth taught by spiritual masters: every one of us holds the power to quiet our minds and find enduring peace without relying on the external world. We delve into ancient scriptures that offer a guide to awakening this dormant ability within us, helping us focus on higher principles that diminish our desires and, thus, enhance our happiness. You'll learn about the compelling equation of happiness, which emphasizes decreasing the number of desires entertained. This episode is a journey towards achieving permanent happiness and independence from the chaos around us.

This reflection is based on Self-Unfoldment by Swami Chinmayananda, which offers insights for enhancing our lives through the timeless wisdom of Vedanta.
