What is Happiness?
Today again I had a long conversation with myself and
was doing retrospection to figure out the answer to the same question.
I do remember when I was a kid I used to play around. I
could climb the trees. I could do whatever I saw without any doubts, without
any hindrance just because I was innocent and knew nothing about everything. I
was an enthusiastic child like every other child on planet carrying a big smile
on his face and pure from heart excited about everything he sees be it a small
flower on the trail in the grassland nearby. I knew when I was happy.
I dig deeper and deeper and came to know that there was
no reason behind my happiness. The little flower intrigued me because I wanted
to know everything. I was happy inside & nothing gave me happiness. By
looking at the flower I just poured over my happiness which was needed to be
shared with the Mother Nature.
Be happy and make the surroundings happy. This is the one
thing which is very important for people to realize, you cannot make others
happy until & unless you are happy. You cannot become happy if you
sacrifice something to make others happy and make yourself unhappy. If such is
the case, do things to make others happy & feel great for the deeds you
have done to bring smile on their faces.
To manifest true happiness, you must be positive from
inside and once you are positive inside, you try to look everything positively
and hence you are calm at peace and contended.
Faith
in one's religion is essential for life's happiness. In times of trouble,
religion can be a source of much peace and comfort. Only a virtuous man with a
pure conscience can know real happiness. Religion is morality, and without
morality, there can be no happiness in life. It is a matter of common
experience that those who are immoral, corrupt or dishonest, are never happy in
their lives.
So, when I joined SOIL during the induction week
Charlie’s sessions and Anil sir’s appreciative inquiry sessions took me back
into the arena where I felt like a kid again excited and merry about myself.
SOIL has given me the flavor of being Happy and spreading
Happiness which is now my goal and I am relishing the bliss.
