When you were a child, you loved and craved for chocolate and cake. And you thought, when I'm old like my parents, I will buy all the chocolate and cake I want and then I'll be happy. Now you have so much chocolate and cake but you're bored. So you decide that since cake, doesn't make you happy anymore, you will get a car, a house, a television, a husband or wife, then you'll be happy. So now you have everything but there are more problems. The car is a problem, the house is a problem, the husband or wife is a problem, the children are a problem. And now You realize, oh, this is not a satisfaction.
But Buddha is saying that you only have to know what you are and how you exist that’s all. Just understand your mind, How it works, How attachment and desire arise? How ignorance arises where emotions come from? It is sufficient to know the nature of all that just that gives so much happiness and peace.
Your life changes completely Everything is turned upside down What you interpreted as horrible becomes beautiful. How to check your mind? Just watch how your mind perceives or interprets any object that it contacts, what feeling comfortable, or uncomfortable arises then you check when I perceive this kind of you this feeling arises and that emotion comes by discriminate in such a way. This is how to check the mind and that is all. It is very simple.
When you see in your life Control your emotions and don't let your emotions control you. You will never find happiness Unless you understand yourself; unless you understand your emotions and how you perceive things It is never about the object but always how you look at it.
