"If you know the meaning of contentment, you will be comfortable sitting under a tree or sleeping in a cave. On the contrary, if you are not satisfied, you will not be happy even if you have all the treasures in the world. Only those who do not crave happiness will be truly happy, and only those who are free from elation and sadness will know true contentment. Some people are comfortable only when they are surrounded by sounds and sights. They feel happy only when there is loud music, good wine, and the company of beautiful people. However, when the party is over, they are left with an uncontrollable loneliness, as if they have lost everything.

"People experience inner emptiness because they do not know the meaning of true happiness. They try to find happiness in material things and sensual pleasure, and they are sad and lonely when the music stops and the crowd leaves. Trapped in an endless cycle of elation and sadness, they do not realize that true happiness is found in stillness and inner contentment. They live out their lives in illusion, injuring themselves and losing that which can give them true happiness.

"If you cannot find contentment within, you will be tempted to find satisfaction outside. But things that satisfy you externally cannot nourish your skin and strengthen your bones. Nor can they nurture your internal organs. Without inner contentment, happiness will not last even if you possess all the riches of the world.
