Lack of satisfaction is the reason for our sadness, stress and worry.

Namaste friends, we all want to be happy in our lives, we want to be healthy, and we want to enjoy life to the fullest. But we cannot live like this, why is it so? We all want to, but only a few people know the art of living like this. The rest of us get troubled by stress, worry, jealousy, and sadness. But why is there stress, why is there worry, why is there jealousy? We do not try to know the answers to all these questions in detail. Friends, I think if we want to find the answer to all these problems, then we should look inside our own minds. Its solution is not outside. It is inside us. And we ourselves know this very well. And we do not have the habit of knowing this, we do not have the habit of looking inside the mind, of analyzing it.

We look for the answer to every problem, the reason for every question outside. We have the answers to these questions. Friends, if our desires, hopes, expectations, and dreams are limitless, then there is bound to be stress. It has been said in all our religions "Be happy with what you have." But we are not able to do this. Our hopes and our desire for more pushes us into this abyss of worry and sorrow. Friends, I have an example in front of me. There is a person I know, whose financial and family condition is very good. He also has a small hotel, his sons are earning. There is no dearth of money. But he is always worried, there is always some or other problem related to his health. He keeps complaining about something or the other. He will never say that he has more, he wants a bigger hotel, a bigger car, and a bigger house, and he is always busy with this. I always tell him, friend, what do you lack that you remain worried. ?Everything is there, still you worry? They say, yes friend, that is true.

They laugh and leave it. Many times I have explained to them that worrying without any reason is not good. They like my thoughts and listen to them too. But they don't act upon it. But friends, I have learned one thing from this person, there is no guarantee that having money will bring happiness. What I mean to say is not that, don't earn money. Money is everything, money is our need. This thing is needed, it cannot work without it. But as I said above, you should be happy with what you have. Running after money creates problems. Unrealistic expectations become the reason for our stress. If we are satisfied with what we have, and enjoy it to the fullest, then there will be neither worry nor stress. Constant hope and expectation become a habit, it becomes a habit. No matter how much money we have, good cars, big house, we cannot get permanent happiness from them. The mind plays a very important role in expectations, the mind always keeps thinking about the things we have expected. Today if I have a car, I think it should be a big car of a big company.

One day a big car arrives. It attracts us for a few days, but later we forget this expectation. Some other expectation arises, and the race for it begins. This happens only till we get that thing, later its attraction reduces, no matter what the thing is. This means there is no happiness in things. It is a necessity. It should be seen from this perspective. I want to buy a car, it is my need, I have to buy it to show off to people, then we are doing wrong. Friends, we do not do anything for ourselves, we do a lot to show off to the world. And then we get stressed due to messing up our budget. I have seen many people who did not need a car, but my friend has bought one, my neighbor has bought one. I also want to buy one, and the car is bought by taking a bank loan, even better than that. Bank EMI, maintenance expenses, trouble, stress.

We ourselves create worry and stress. We can be satisfied with whatever we have, whatever it is. Whatever my car is, I should be satisfied. Yes, I will definitely buy a bigger one, the need will increase, I will definitely buy it when the time comes. There is absolutely no need to go crazy for it. Therefore, friends, satisfaction is an art, we must imbibe it. We had a great saint in Maharashtra, Saint Tukaram, who wrote a beautiful abhang. Which I write in Marathi ''Thevile Anante Taiseechi Rahave. Mukhi Asu Dyaave Samadhan.'' It means we should live the way God has kept us. And there should always be satisfaction in the mouth and mind. Friends, this has a great meaning, it should be understood and implemented in our lives. It is we who can cure all our stress, worries, and sadness. By changing our thoughts and ideas and by being satisfied. Thank you friends.
