An Indian newspaper editor asked Swamishri a few questions:

Q: Spirituality is the right path, and man should follow it. However, those who walk the path of immorality and perform impious acts achieve mundane progress and are happier, whereas those who are spiritual are unhappy and miserable. Why is this?

A: Outwardly it seems that one who has wealth is happy, but one cannot always believe this to be true. On the surface it appears that he is happy, but inside he is unhappy. He is always running, evading and anxious. The fruit of immorality (adharma) is misery and pain. Sooner or later he will have to suffer for it. One who does good will get good fruits. He feels happy within and God looks after him and makes him happier.

Duryodhan was immoral and he seemed happy outwardly, whereas the Pandavs had to roam in the forests during their exile. But, the peace the Pandavs had, Duryodhan did not have!
