Reflection
Happiness
Happiness is the highest form of self-transformation. (Reflection 1004)
— Dalai Lama
खुशी आत्म-परिवर्तन का उच्चतम रूप है। (Reflection 1004)
— दलाई लामा
Why this matters:
Inner peace is the foundation of external happiness. Wisdom is often found in the quiet moments of self-reflection. In this 1004th step of our journey, we find that happiness requires consistent practice and patience.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
आंतरिक शांति बाहरी सुख की नींव है। ज्ञान अक्सर आत्म-चिंतन के शांत क्षणों में पाया जाता है। हमारी यात्रा के इस 1004वें कदम में, हम पाते हैं कि खुशी के लिए निरंतर अभ्यास और धैर्य की आवश्यकता होती है।
