True Success: Finding God

in terms of the physical body or external circumstances are a cause for misery for a person in this present world. In terms of what he is seeking, the real issue is to acquire a life free of all sorrow. If sorrow exists, nothing can give one true happiness. Human beings are born with the desire for an ideal world of joy. All of a person’s hopes and engagements in the present world are devoted to seeking to obtain this ideal. People repeatedly form opinions about different things, thinking that if they obtain them they would be able to attain the ideal world of their dreams. But then, after making all kinds of efforts throughout their life for this purpose and even after being able to obtain many things that they hankered after, most people fail to get the desired happiness that they had sought for. The reality is that an individual’s true success is only this— that he finds and discovers God, his Lord and Sustainer. Other than this, nothing will give a person the joy that he innately seeks.
