Theory of marginal utility of getting happiness

\n

Spiritual happiness - one will get back once we taste it. One will get back because the happiness experienced is multiplied instead of diminshing utility.

\n

\n

Desire is like an avalanche. Anything that comes in between you and desire means we become angry.

\n

If we reduce expectations, then the influence desires fade away

\n

\n

If we want to have peace:

\n

- try to have less than more

\n

- seek to be last rather than first

\n

- seek to do will of others, rather than your own

\n

- in all things recognize and learn to accept the will of God

\n

\n

"I want peace": I is ego, want is desire. Remove ego & desire and you will get peace.
