World&Vedanta!!

"World is neither a place of joy, nor a place of sorrow, it is only we who are responsible for our own joy & sorrow. Do not manipulate the external world of objects & human beings, adjust yourself to the surroundings, you will be ever happy" – Vedanta.

Human beings always got the tendency to blame world for all the miseries, forgetting the fact that what is misery for him is joy for someone & tend to get into quarrels by trying to change the world, ultimately ending in sorrow, spoiling One's day & mood.

Let us take an example; you are sitting in your living room engaged in some activity, one of the youngsters of the house starts blaring pop music which is annoying you, you request the youngster to stop his music, which he ignores, you start shouting at him, there starts a quarrel ultimately spoiling the mood of the house & everyone. If the youngster refuses to stop his music, best course is to leave the room to another place rather than picking up a quarrel.

Do not try to change / manipulate the external world & end in a misery.
