Consumerism and Peace of mind
There is no end to materialistic desires/possessions. The
self-centrist approach to life gives birth to a tendency to run after money, acquire
& hoard worldly goods/objects beyond one’s need to the extent that it even pollutes
one’s mind with inclination to grab what belongs to someone else thus
generating unhealthy competition, tension, conflict & violence. The mind
becomes restless & distracted resulting in loss of inner peace. Money
cannot buy peace and happiness. Monitor, restrain and curb the urge to own more
money, gems, gold, land or other valuables. Self-restraint, self-control & self-detachment
imbibed in thoughts, the virtues and values acquired on judicious introspection,
helps one find bliss and peace.
