Today we will talk about what makes us suffer in this world. Who are these enemies who do not allow us to live happily and calmly? Maybe this is some kind of conspiracy? But there will be no secret to anyone that the main reason for most of our suffering is our own bad habits. Here they are-our enemies, and if you fight something in this world, so to deal with them. The problem of bad habits is so strong because they stretch behind us from past lives. Our bad habits have a very long tail. The sages say that we have long left the spiritual world to the material world, left for so long that in mathematics there is not even such a figure to say how much time we are already here, how many lives we have been traveling according to different planets, for various forms of life, Infounding either bunnies or squirrels. And we are not just traveling, we travel with very heavy luggage, with huge suitcases of our bad habits - this is the habit of greedy, the habit of envy, the habit of angry and other all kinds of nasty things.

The famous sage of Chanakya Pandit explains in neti-chastra, treatises based on the logic that, having simplified his life, getting rid of unnecessary desires, you can find a lot of time for active spiritual development, and hence for your own happiness. The great paradox of the material world is that we all really want happiness, but we do not distinguish time to search for happiness ... We have time for anything, but not to search for happiness. And if we are not actively looking for happiness, then we are actively looking for grief, and, as a rule, we find it. Of course, it is very difficult to get rid of bad habits, but the same Chanakya Pandit explains that we can easily get rid of a bad thing, if we get something clearly the best in return. Therefore, we have an interesting task - the task of abandoning envy, the task of abandoning greed, anger, lust and pride in exchange for absolute truth, which consists of eternity, knowledge and bliss.

Absolute truth is the source of all pleasure. This is a reservoir that contains Anandu, all the happiness that is only. When you try at least a drop of happiness from this tank, you will feel eternal bliss. Anyone who tried real happiness is called a liberated soul. Liberated souls are in the same place where we, but do not get confused in the material world, do not fall under its influence, do not respond so much to material suffering. Srila Prabhupada said that the demigods who came to the ground can be found out by the fact that they walk without touching the earth. Of course, we touch the earth, and how we touch, but we also have our own chance to get out of the influence of material suffering. As Jesus said: "You can live in the world, but not from this world." An example of a lotus flower is given, which grows in the lake, but is located above it. The roots are at the bottom, in the silt of the lake, but the flower is above the water. In the same way, our feet can be in silt, at the bottom, but our consciousness can be sublime in thought about absolute truth. This is exactly what we are doing with you today.

The sages explain to us that finding happiness is not so difficult. We can’t do it in any way due to insults and improper use of the formula for the search for happiness. Insults do not give us strength to get rid of stupid things. A modern person only does what offends everyone left and right. But as a result of 100 insults, a person becomes a professional hypocrite and deceives everyone and in everything, after 1000 insults a person becomes not able to get rid of bad habits, and after 10,000 a person’s insults are just sick of one idea of spiritual development. He is infuriated by everything related to spirituality. Therefore, it is so important to follow the principles of culture, culture protects us from insults, and we have a chance to feel the taste for spiritual development. Therefore, the first step on the way to God, the first step on the path to one's own happiness is to give yourself a vow of anyone and never insulting.
And now we are interested in the formula for achieving happiness
