Being happy and content is a beautiful experience. But most of us fail to do it and meditation can come in aid to help them.
If happiness were external,affulent and developed societies would have it. They have many things, but they are not happy.A large number of people in such societies have a mechanical way of behaving nicely with others, but they do not know how to be happy within themselves. They are creating a great conflict, a split personality, by pretending to express a happiness that is not there.
Happiness is not in the external world;it is not attained through material objects.People spend their whole lives wanting to have this and have that; they love objects, and they cannot love without objects.Happiness lies within you, and you should learn to use all things and apply all means to attain that happiness. This inner happiness is in a dormant form; you have to unfold yourself to experience it.
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.Lord Buddha
