Answer:
Story: What you look for is within you
The story is told of an old man who lived in a tiny village. He was one of the most unfortunate people in the world. He was always gloomy, constantly complained and always was in a bad mood. He created the feeling of unhappiness in others. The whole village was tired of him. The years rolled by but he remained the same grumpy old man. The villagers preferred to avoid him and let him alone.
But one day, when he got eighty years old, an amazing thing happened. Instantly everyone heard the rumour: “The Old Man is happy today. He doesn’t complain about anything, he smiles, and even his face is brightened up”. The incredible news spread like wildfire. This was like a miracle. The impossible had just happened.
The whole village gathered together.
The old man was asked: "What happened to you?"
"Nothing special." He answered. "Eighty years I’ve been chasing happiness, and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That is why I am happy now."
Conclusion: Very often we seek things in the external and visible world. But we cannot find them because they are not out there somewhere but within us. By self-realisation we can come to know that that the elusive things of life cannot be found out there somewhere in the world because they are within us. They are within us all the time, it is us who never thought that they are within us and we looked for them in all the wrong places. Real joy and happiness, compassion and kindness, gratitude and goodness, contentment and peace of mind can be found only within ourselves, in the depth of our hearts and souls.
