skip to ''enjoy little things

One should learn to .wisely . skip to ''enjoy little things, for they exist in abundance.''

since there is no joy in small little things, ''na alpe sukhamasthu ...''

human is meant to strive to attain the best in life, excelling in every field and be a supreme achiever

the Veda makes a very important and logical comment: “naasti akritah kritena” – “an unconditional entity cannot be the product of a process” (Mun:1:2:12).

It also declares, “yo vai bhuma tat sukham na alpe sukham asti” – “satisfaction is only in the infinite, not in the finite” (Cha: 7:23:1).

Thus, my pursuit after security, happiness and peace, by doing various things and acquiring people and objects around me, is a futile one.

I can never get unconditional security, happiness and peace, and I can never be satisfied with whatever I get. The Veda says, “na vittena tarpaniiyo manushyaha” – “man is not satisfied by any amount of wealth” (Kat: 1:1:27). This can be extended to the other two goals also
