Premanand Maharaj
Premanand Maharaj’s statement: In today’s busy life, every person is running after success. We think that if we get a good job, a lot of money and a luxurious house, we will be happy. But the irony is that those who have all this are also searching for mental peace. After all, where is real happiness? Premanand Maharaj, who guides millions of people through his satsang on social media, recently gave an answer to the same question of a devotee, which can change your thinking.
Devotee’s question: Why is there restlessness even after success and money?
A devotee expressed his grief to Premanand Maharaj and asked, Maharaj ji, I do not get happiness, I am upset. What is the real meaning of success? What will attain peace of mind?”
Illusion of success and happiness: Maharaj ji’s sarcasm
Premanand Maharaj broke this confusion in very simple words. He said that in today’s society the yardstick of success has been set wrong.
Confusion: People think that position, prestige and bank balance are the basis of happiness.
reality: Premanand Maharaj said, just ask those who have immense wealth and see if they are really happy? The thing or glory that you are yearning to attain, someone else already has it, but that person is also unhappy and disturbed.” It is clear from this that external things cannot satisfy the mind.

find true happiness
Maharaj Ji explained that happiness does not lie in wealth, wealth or a beautiful family, but in God. Giving evidence from the scriptures he said, Brahma Bhuta Prasanna Atma. Only the person who connects his mind to God can be truly happy. He clarified that worldly things give momentary happiness, whereas the happiness received from God is eternal.
Let go of negativity: Recognize what is near
Premanand Maharaj showed the mirror to the devotee and said that a major reason for sorrow is our negative thinking. You have a healthy body, your eyes and ears are working fine, you are getting two meals a day – even after all this, if you are not happy, then it is only your negativity. He taught us that first learn to be happy with whatever God has given you. Gratitude is the first step to happiness.
