The Search For Enlightenment

Things such as money, fame, and material possessions may offer a degree of fleeting satisfaction, something that can be called relative happiness.

However, when we transform our lives internally, when we develop within ourselves a brilliant inner palace, then we can be said to have established absolute happiness.

If we develop a state of mind as vast and resplendent as a magnificent palace, then there is nothing – no matter where we go or what we may encounter in life – that can undermine or destroy our happiness.
