________________ used to get full with six rotis, now doesn't feel full after eating twenty-six rotis also, then you should believe that this is not hunger, but gluttony. When today's world has become a huge bazaar for material things, where there is no control over production, then there is a need to control consumption. The depth of happiness is far above that of material objects. Once you understand this, your angle of seeing material objects will change. The things that you have will separate from you in two ways: Either you will leave the things or the thing will desert you and move away. You lose material things in both the options, but there is a big difference in its impact. Voluntary abandonment emerges from a person's virtue of contentment. Forced denial causes a lot of discontentment. A Philosopher has said very sweetly "Contentment is the religion of the present times. Contentment is the security bond given by religion. A person who yearns for equanimity and a re-birth into a higher level of existence leading finally to nirvana (liberation) should preserve this security bond". MIND YOUR mind: 75
