5: The Blind Search for Happiness

Do we succeed? Does it ever end?

We always want something newer, better, bigger, etc., and as a result become entangled in the ever multiplying maze of desires. The result is continual restlessness and feeling of incompleteness. The Bhagavad Gita says, “Even if a man is given all the opulences of the innumerable world regions, his inner mental condition will be no better than a beggar.” In this talk Swami Govindananda will give meaning to this quotation and show a way out of this maze.
