These ideas permeate almost every area of society, from laws and cultural norms to personal judgments. However, from a deeper spiritual perspective, the concepts of right and wrong are, in many ways, relative—culturally, temporally, and contextually. They serve to organise society and are essential for maintaining order, yet they are not universal truths that exist independently of human perception. They hold no intrinsic, existential relevance; rather, they are frameworks we created to navigate the human experience together.

Society often tells us that happiness lies in acquiring wealth, status, or recognition, but as we reach these milestones, the satisfaction they bring is often short-lived. True happiness remains elusive, and we may start to wonder if we’re looking in the wrong places. This realisation often marks the beginning of a deeper, more introspective journey - a search not for temporary pleasure, but for a lasting, unshakable happiness that arises from within. True happiness isn’t tied to external circumstances or possessions, but to a profound inner contentment and peace. While life brings both joy and challenges, genuine happiness endures, remaining untouched by the ebbs and flows of our experiences. It’s rooted in an inner stability, a state of being that doesn’t fluctuate with success or failure. This form o
