Lord Buddha has said, “Dukkham, dukkham, dukkham”. The worldly materials are full of sorrows. We cannot extract oil from sand because there is no oil in the sand. The thing, which has no existence, cannot be found. If anyone searches happiness in physical substances, it is quite foolishness. Now one question arises, “who is the happiest person in the world?” Is the king happiest? Is American president happiest? Is Indian prime minister happiest? Is the richest person happiest? No, none of them is.
Happiness is the internal thing. It has no connection with external materials. The person, who is contented with the material that God has given, is the happiest. ‘Godhan gajdhan baajidhan, aur ratandhan khaan; jab aabay santosh dhan, sab dhan dhoori samaan’. There was a king. He was always anxious about his realm. He heard the name of a famous sage. Someone told that his anxieties would be removed if he wore the sage’s clothes. The armed forces were sent to search the sage and bring his dress. After too much searching, the sage was found. However, searching effort went in vain. The sage was completely naked. He had no clothes at all.
