#platform/youtube #channel/Master-YongHua #playlist/dharma-seeds  Happiness is a state of mind where you free from agitation and that's the most powerful level of happiness. If you're happy because you drink, because you have uh bought a new car, new clothes, food and so forth, your mind moves. Meaning that it will stop. The happiness will stop. When your mind moves, I say, "Oh, I'm so happy. Oh, oh, I dream to you and so forth." The mind is moving. So if the mind moves, when it stops, you're not as happy anymore. Does it make sense? But the happiness when you get into this level of stillness is a state of happiness that's quite different from a happiness from sensual pleasures. And that state of stillness is is free from thoughts. So that sensation that there that feeling that feeling of well-being, the feeling of contentment of being full. Okay. Being happy without anything, without depending on anyone that's complete. Whereas the happiness you from drinking, from smoking, [music] from eating is dependent, is conditioned if you will. And therefore, it's rather shallow. It's shallow because it still depends on reinforcement. You need to keep on drinking. You see, so that's why it has limitations. Whereas stillness refers to state of happiness, special state of happiness where you don't need reinforcement.
