Contentment Bestows Peace Of Mind
The third watchman is (contentment). Even after earning a lot of wealth and attaining high position, comforts, name and fame, man is not able to derive happiness. One without contentment stands to lose both ways. Such a one cannot remain happy either in this life or in the next. Undue desires are the cause of dissatisfaction. Due to dissatisfaction, you are unable to enjoy the fruits that are available before you. People crave for more and more, losing sight of what is already available. Thinking of the future, people are getting nightmarish. Why should you worry about future which is uncertain? Also, you should not brood over the past, because past is past! It will never come back. One should endeavour to make good use of the present. Results of the past and the forebodings of the future are both available in the present. Therefore, present is omnipresent. Seeds of the past and the fruits of the future are both contained in the sapling of the present. You will reap in future what you sow in present. You will have the belch of what you have eaten.
