Meditation makes you happy and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort. But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy and relaxed even if we are living in the very best conditions.
By practicing meditation patiently over time, you will discover that it is possible to experience inner peace and contentment just by controlling the mind, without having to depend upon external conditions.
When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within. This feeling of contentment and well-being helps us to cope with the busyness and difficulties of daily life.
