Material and Peace

We strive to gain all the objects in our life attributing happiness and wellness to them, whether we get them or not, the effort and process of achieving them creates a seperate chain of complicacies. Desires go on changing even if we fulfil them and we become comfortable or once the needs are satisfied. All this does not make us happy because our ego further downgrades the comfort achieved and again cherishes happiness in something else. Simply the desire goes on changing and standard of fulfilment in our imagination is further elevated.
In the first phase we should see these desires and their making to dilute and avoid them and gradually understanding very clearly that we are seeking happiness in our life and not the worldly objects, we should try to get rid of desires. We find in our life that grief and sorrow does not come to us because we lack some object and material but because of the sense of incompleteness.
No objects can make us happy but they should not be opposed effortfully or thrown outside. What we really need to reject is only the concept that these worldly objects will give us lasting happiness. One can verywell desire objects but he should not insist on fulfilment of these desires. More we insist on it more disturbances it is going to cause which really deflect our mental peace and wellness. It is a chain reaction.
