Madurai Wisdom: Do not be materialistic - to be happy!

Do not be materialistic - To be Happy!

this is something every saint has been telling, including Buddha, Jesus, Krishna -
everyone.

Main cause of any problem is due to attachment. Being materialistic is a subset of "being attached", because there will be more things involved when we say "being attached".

If we avoid being materialistic, we can be more happy in life, in a permanent manner!
It is very simply said, but not done!

It is again a choice of things. It is about a small decision you take in various
situations. When there is a time, when you have to decide which one you want - humman or a material. Choose human!

If some action is going to hurt a human or a material. Avoid hurting human.

As someone said it nicely - "If you want to be happy, love people and use things, instead of loving things and using people".

If we just follow this, we should be really happy in life!!

Happy being non-materialistic!!:-)
