“If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts happiness follows him like his never-departing shadow.”
— Buddha
Simplified Meaning:
When a person thinks good thoughts and does good things, happiness naturally comes to them and stays with them, just like their shadow always follows them around. Imagine someone who is always honest, kind, and helps others. Because they are doing good things, they feel happy inside and people around them feel good too, creating a positive environment. For example, if you help a friend when they are in need, not only do you feel good about yourself, but your friend is also happy, and this can strengthen your relationship. Practicing kindness and honesty in your daily life leads to a sense of fulfillment and joy that sticks with you, no matter where you go. This happiness isn’t temporary; it becomes a part of who you are, making your life more positive and enjoyable.
