Who
does not want to be happy? We all are
very much greedy to remain always be in a happy mood. But the temperament
swings your mood like a pendulum and you are compelled to get distracted from
happiness and become sad. Despite our longing to search happiness, most people pander
to the desires of darkness and suffering either because of their deeds, actions
and negative thoughts or they are being guided by others to follow the path of
thorns. Now, when they somehow manage to
come out of this phase and get some small installments of happiness in their
lives, they want to cling to the same.
They do not want to lose that moment of happiness at any cost. Even someone based on their rich inheritance
and family background has not experienced a pang of sufferings, remember, the
same can visit them at any moment as an intruder to trouble just to offset the
ephemeral happiness.
Most
of us always want that our list of desires should be fulfilled as if it is our
right. But such aspirations are never fructified;
rather it is like an assumptive wish.
So, when you seek happiness to get the same at the cost of the
fulfillment of various desires and not able to achieve, you automatically
invite sufferings. The unhappiness sequence
of your life, your deeds, your thoughts and your clinging to lust only force
you to come out from the happiness mode. When you are pervaded by many desires, knowing well that many of them are beyond your reach
to accomplish or fulfill, still you chase, as if you run in
a dark tunnel with an unabated hope. Your
physical and mental strength to search happiness is then abated by sufferings.
The
human being is subject to mood changes and sometimes behaves very calm and
quiet swallowing the grief arises out of
the constraints in life and some other times, shows completely impulsive
attitude to those situations. His moods are changed when he is not able to
obtain the desired results out of his wish.
At that point, he feels very unhappy and downhearted. Since, his latent wishes have not been
fulfilled; he becomes completely dissatisfied and frustrated. Of course, when
desires are getting satisfied, it brings a momentary satisfaction, but the same
is not perpetual. This type of happiness
may take you in a state of ecstasy, but immediately after the enjoyment, it
looms you into depression.
Basically,
the mood changes because of various ups and downs sequences in the life.
Now,
if you completely detach yourself from the fulfillment of your wishes, you will
be enlaced neither with the happiness nor with the frustrations. When you are
detached, both the sequences of happiness and distress will not drift you and
make you mental imbalance and so,
ultimately you will remain calm. You will not get upset by the onslaught of
situations. You will be able to solidify
your character's strength and become steadfast as if, you are unaffected by the
factors, which cause your anxieties, tension, fear, despondency and imbalance. You
will be able to maintain an impeccable standard of mind power. Detachment must
be one of your essential qualities of your desires to remain most of the time
in the happiest realm. The state of
complete desirelessness is latent in
everyone, but we do not want to visualize its power just not to lose the
glittering and gleeful sequences of our lives. Once you able to get detached
from your desire, you reach the stage of
wanting nothing and your inner sense will make you enlightened and you will be
able to taste the sweet fragrance of the real happiness of life, which is not
based on the sensual fulfillment of various objects of the world, but the same
is based on your achieving the knowledge of self –realization.
One
thing you must know that only desirelessness cannot yield the positive power of
happiness. Although it saves you from
various sufferings when you chase your
wish-list, but if you want to enjoy true happiness, synchronization of your
mind and transcending the consequences of your inherent feeling of not
achieving your various wishes is a must.
How then the true happiness is possible in life? It is only possible when as a human being,
you will be able to adjust yourself with the others and the prerequisite of
this adjustment involves forgetfulness and love. From here, you will be able to learn the
technique to transform yourself into an eternal spirit to give less importance
to you and more to others. When you are able to embrace upon this concept of
living, you will be able to link to God-realization so as to remember Him in
all your endeavors and receive unfading happiness. The God oriented happiness is achievable even
you are a family man. God-realization is
not that spiritual high level thought and in fact, each of us has this power;
only thing, we are not exercising the same as we are so occupied and get drowned
in the joy and sorrow syndrome. It is
extremely difficult to become expressible happy without reminiscing the
presence of God with you all the time mentally.
If
you are able to achieve happiness which comes through remembering the presence
of God, the same is worth all the physical and mental sufferings, you get in
this world. You will feel that you have
not suffered at all.
Otherwise
also, if you are not God-realized, you can control your mind through meditation,
yoga, and Sadhna to that extent that nothing can create agonies for you
irrespective of your being engulfed with pain or sufferings. As a passing phase, you will accept the same
without remaining unhappy. When one becomes God-realized, everything else is
meaningless. The happiness then is
self-sustained, perpetual, unfading and free from compulsive of a dirty mind. It is this happiness you must hunch,which will
ultimately take you to the path of divinity and there after life will be always
in a happy mood.
