I believe the root of all happiness on this earth to lie in the realization of a spiritual life with a consciousness of something wider than materialism in the capacity to live in a world that makes you unselfish because you are not overanxious about your own comic fallibilities that gives you tranquility without complacency because you believe in something so much larger than yourself.
