Seeking happiness in material things is a sure way of being unhappy.
Even people within a relationship can be really alone, and then have to go outside of it in order to find something, whatever it is. It may be very bizarre and maybe something very tender.
All you can see, if you look through the window - everything you see is a fulfillment of dreams, different dreams.
Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body
We live in this world of great promise, where everything seems to offer an unchanging final happiness, if we can only get enough of it. It is very intoxicating.
Within the human being there exists both the needful and the needed. You know that the needful exists in you. Your own dissatisfaction tells you so. But you believe the needed is somewhere outside of you.
All cravings are the mind seeking salvation or fulfillment in external things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being.
