Meditation makes us happier!
We all need something that takes us out of day to day and reminds us that it's all ok."
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness and the happiness of others.
If you investigate the matter deeply enough and widely enough, you will find that happiness eludes nearly all men despite the fact that they are forever seeking it. The fortunate and successful few are those who have stopped seeking with the ego alone and allow the search to be directed inwardly by the higher self. They alone can find a happiness unblemished by defects or deficiencies, a Supreme Good which is not a further source of pain and sorrow but an endless source of satisfaction and peace.
Even when in the midst of disturbance, the stillness of the mind can offer sanctuary.
