Through meditation, once realizes the unbounded, that which is unbounded is happy, there is no happiness in the small. the Upanishads
so we are discussing how to become unbounded? Let go of our desires and needs? In a capitalistic society that goes against the whole principle of this nation...if we don't go buy items we don't need like iphone G6 and gas powered creme melter...than we become unbounded, but prosecuted for our non-involvement.
Buying items or not buying items is of no concern. Being unbounded is a permanent condition that can be perceived. You are not a society. Society is a myth.
