On Happiness

Laity seeks happiness in possessions; sages say it is renunciation. The thing is that happiness is a state of mind that occurs by making anything its cause on its own. Happiness is not an effort. You may be happy without a reason and sad for no reason. It also happens that you are apparently happy but not happy at a deeper level. In the same way, you feel sad but inside you, you can see your beaming face. The takeaway: you do, if you can do, what you think is worthwhile and the rest is the job of the walnut kernel put inside your cranium.

The fact is that the brain you have is not exactly what you can govern, it is your brain which mostly governs you.
