Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Dale Carnegie
spirituality is about coexistence with the nature and its surroundings.
I think we were allowed to evolve because we were the ones who could protect the earth from the harm.
Spirituality by its very definition is an attempt to rise above the mundane ( worldly matters) and the physical. For me if a shirt cost me Rs 1lakh can bring happiness , I would be much happier in buying foods and clothes to children leaving in slum areas.
We still love and revere (regard with feeling of respect) Gandhiji for his simplicity and ability to shed all worldly desires and possessions.
When people are dependent on us, it's a bit difficult to throw up hands and go on a protracted(relatively long in duration) tour in search of our inner self. Causing unhappiness to those we love is bad karma, Our basic tenet in life should be to treat other people the we ourself would like to treated.
Life gives us what we put into it. Our tally at the end of the day is more about what we do to make life pleasant for those around us.
