Meditation is cheating

Happiness which is sustainable is impossible in this world.

Following is the mechanism of happiness and unhappiness.

First a thought (as desire) arises in the mind.

This creates a disturbance in the natural peace of the consciousness.

This disturbance then creates the potential energy which goads us to achieve the object, which we think will give us happiness.

This object will make us feel fulfilled, because it will remove the disturbance creating potential.

This is the mechanism by which work is happening in the world.

So it is quite clear, the basis of the activities in this world is the disturbance created which creates a potential which then impels us to remove this disturbance by obtaining the happiness attributed object.

This is how the system was designed by its clever designer (hat tip to God).

The Vedantins and the Buddhists are then trying to hack the system.

By meditation you bypass the whole thought->attachment->disturbance->energy->attainment->cessation cycle required for object attainment.

You stop it at the attachment phase itself.

This way disturbance is never created and one can remain happy.

This is why the meditators can remain happy they have hacked the system to give them happiness by bypassing the whole business.

We can say that the world is created to not give us happiness by for us to chase happiness and never get it.

Unhappiness/dissatisfaction is the potential energy that makes the world run. Once it becomes permanent then how will the activities of the world take place.

By bypassing the rules of life meditators are thus cheaters.
