Happiness is inversely proportional to our requirements

Today's culture is to accumulate things more and more to become happy, people think how much we fulfill our requirements that much we will be happy.

The whole world is producing a new-new things everyday on the demand of people. We see our consumption are never ending, that is why there is a big problem in supply and demand equation.

People need more and supply is less in proportion to their demands.

But in ancient time it was not there people were having very less requirements to live their life, even they were full of resources. Philosophically they were very much aware that our requirements can never be fulfilled instead how much we increase our requirements that much our life will be miserable.

For example two people are travelling one is having a simple light weight bag and other one is with full heavy 5-6 bags. Who can enjoy the journey? Very simple the person who has light bag, because that person has no burden on his head how can I carry it with, I have not much valuable in it so there is no need to worry of thief.

But the second person will have no peace while travelling because all the time he only think of his baggage and it's valuable things belonging inside it.

So our life is like a journey, how less we keep our requirements that much we can enjoy the journey of life.

When we think of increasing our requirements the same time our happiness start decreasing.

Hare Krishna!!!
