1. Where is happiness?

    Everyone wants to be happy. Who does not want to be happy? But he does not know how to become happy. Nobody’s happy, I have seen. Therefore they drink. Whenever there is unhappiness, they cannot adjust it — “Let me drink.” This is Western happiness. They have no other information. So just try. You are comfortably situated. There is no economic shortage. Now you become devotee. Then you’ll be happy. Otherwise it is not possible. Don’t think by getting large sum money one becomes happy. That is not the fact. That is a mistake.
