1.4 The law of change
Have you ever wondered why the external world can never give us non-stop happiness?
The answer is: The outside world is never constant – There is only one thing constant about the external world and that is CHANGE.
For example maybe you love the new job that you have just got and find it enriching and stimulating. But what happens a few years down the line when the job becomes repetitive or your team member’s change and you don’t enjoy the company of the new lot of co-workers? The outside world is always changing – so no lasting, permanent happiness can be found there.
Now if we want permanent happiness we have to invest ourselves in what is unchanging and eternal. The soul within is unchanging and eternal. But if we invest ourselves in something that by its very nature is impermanent then that is the kind of happiness we will get - short-lived happiness.
