Tranquility is the home of happiness. Silence can be found within the heart when there is complete stillness. This stillness and focus can be achieved by practice. Meditation is that practice which brings joy and bliss. It is an endeavor which takes time. Constant effort and observation can bring peace of mind. This is bliss, knowing which desires come to an end.
The eternal scriptures of the Hindus have suggested Dhyan Yoga as a path of self-surrender .Here devotion and work without expectation of return is the way to liberation. Every person is entitled to find happiness to end their suffering.
A person may look at a glass filled half with water and think that it is full while another person may think that the same glass is half empty.  Why do two people look at the same object in a different way? This is because we create our happiness and suffering by how we judge the world. Meditation shows a way through this suffering.
We suffer when we are selfish and find joy when we can share. Attachment also brings suffering.Life is the ability to work. It is a state where action springs effortlessly. Inertia or darkness is its opposite and brings pain. Meditation therefore results in self -realization and contentment.
