Contentment and simple living habits must lead us to OBJECTLESS  Happiness. 

*******

Sri Ramakrishna ---- there are 3 types of Ananda ,

 vishayananda
bhajanananda
atmananda

******

One who goes beyond the sense pleasures, gets million times more from one's own Self...

*******

Swami Ranganathananda --- As a baby , one needs touch for sense of security and mental development. Touch is not that important afterwards. We are tied up with them. We can go beyond them. A baby cannot understand this. It remains at the sensory level. The Atman is of the nature of the Infinite Bliss. Every joy you have in life is only a small fraction of that Atman.. The one who goes within enjoys imperishable happiness. 

*****

Swami Ranganathananda ----- consumerism is vishayananda, joy here comes only from sense objects. Bhajanananda comes by trying to get  connected with God through music or reading or chanting or worshipping etc.. Atmananda comes by   becoming one with the Self within. 

******

Swami Ranganathananda ----- When you realize the Infinite Atman your bliss will be Infinite. Bhajanananda is the path to Atmananda. Earlier , people did bhajan after the whole day's work and lived a happy life. Now drinking etc is learnt from western culture resulting in broken homes...

********

Each one of us must decide what is necessary for us..To live need based  life...
