JOIN USThere is no doubt in it that happiness is an aspiration of every human being, and it can also be a measure of social progress. Without happiness, life is dry and meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. That is why each one of us wish to be happy all the time and we pursue this goal of ours in various ways.
However, in this quest to be happy, we end up making others unhappy and at times also make ourselves unhappy. Under such a situation, we should ask ourselves “Why do we lose our happiness?" What makes us take the wrong path and lose our inner state of buoyancy? When we pursue limited, superficial or false goals, it is very easy to lose happiness, firstly, because we are not being true to the self, and secondly, because we may build up false expectations that are not met through our goals and activities.
Remember, happiness gained through relationships and possessions has seeds of sorrow because they are sown with expectations that stem from greed, selfishness, attachment or ego. Hence before getting yourself involved in anything, we need to ask ourselves - “Will this bring me happiness?”.
Very few people know about this fact that human beings in their most powerful stage have a good stock of happiness. It is only when we contravene the spiritual and natural laws, we lose happiness and start making others around us unhappy. The repercussions of anger, attachment, greed, ego and desire leads us to loss of peace and happiness. The more we are driven by these forces, the more we spend the stock of our happiness. Hence, awareness and application of spiritual truths is the only way out to sustain and increase our stock of happiness.
Once we understand that happiness comes from within, it is possible to understand how to share that happiness with others. Increasing the happiness of others brings happiness to the self, but this cannot be an escape - that is, it is not a substitute for creating internal happiness. So what are you waiting for ? Let’s get on the happiness train and reach our final destination of “Happy Nation”.
