About

Short Description: Unhappiness or sadness arises when our desires, likes, wants, and attachments to things and beings are not fulfilled. It is not caused directly by external situations, but by the inner expectation that something should be present for us to feel complete. The mind defines happiness through possession and fulfillment; therefore, the absence of these becomes sorrow. This talk explores how sadness is born from psychological dependency, not reality itself, revealing that true peace lies not in acquiring, but in understanding and transcending dependence through right knowledge (Advaita-jñāna).
