If one person lives happily, the other person takes great pains to destroy the happiness of that happy person. The end result of that pain may be the end of another person's life. No matter how much we are people full of inquiring intelligence to think and ask, don't we all act like fools full of Un inquiring intelligence?
What is the basic reason for that? Isn't it because we have accustomed our mental thinking to only the five-fold happiness? That is the same. But is there any comfort that we enjoy through the five-fold happiness? To what extent is that happiness satisfying? Many people living in the entire universe today follow a path of self-inquiry. But isn't it time for us to turn our inquiring intelligence a little to see if the comfort we get through it is truly in accordance with our mentality?
One of the 16 dreams that the King of Kosala had during the Buddha's lifetime was that a large sandalwood forest was sold for a milk churn that smelled of stench. When the Buddha was asked what the result of that was, he said that he preached the Dhamma with the hope of gain and other comforts. Also, both truth and falsehood are hidden in those sermons. Therefore, there is a lot of opportunity to mislead people through them in today's society.
