Life is beyond definition. Much more than whatever you can capture or define.

I
t is so vast, so big, it can t be encapsulated in a few words. When defining life
you are limiting the scope of life.Happiness is a factor that we have to conscio
usly pursue. Unconsciously we all are happy, but somewhere in the pursuit of hap
piness we get stuck and miss the goal. That is what spirituality is all about bringing that one smile.
Once you are able to see the light, you see the entire past as a dream, move on.
Wake up and see the present, you will find happiness is there, unconditional ha
ppiness. Then you are happy and not dependant on others for your happiness.
Happiness depends only on your mind. When the mind is free of past impressions a
nd future cravings, happiness is there.
Happiness is an attitude which you chose. It all depends just on you. There are
people with no jobs but are happy. There are people with jobs and are unhappy. B
e wise and be happy. Do whatever employed, unemployed But independent of what you
are doing, you need to be happy.
Happiness does not come by a talent or skills that you develop. Unless you reali
ze who you are, what the nature of consciousness is through your own introspecti
on, happiness remains a far-fetched reality. The spirit of self enquiry in the t
rue sense which leads to meditation is absolutely essential in this quest for ha
ppiness.
Once a wise man drew a line on a board and told his student to make the line sho
rter without touching or erasing it. How would you do it? You have to shorten a
line without touching it. The intelligent one (referring to the student) then dr
ew a much longer line underneath that line. So, the line automatically became sh
orter.
The lesson here is that if your difficulties appear to be very big, lift your ey
es because you are only focused on yourself. If you lift your eyes up and look a
t those who are in a worse condition than you, you will suddenly feel that your
burden is not as bad as you thought it was. If you think you have some big probl
em, look at people who have a greater problem. Suddenly, you will get a confiden
ce that my problem is much smaller, and I can manage it
Life is a combination of happiness and pain. Pain is inevitable but suffering is
optional. Having a broad perspective on life gives you the strength to move for
ward through painful times. Know that you are very much needed in this world. Wi
th all its infinite possibilities, this life is a gift for it can become a fount
ain of joy and happiness not just for oneself but for many others as well.
.
So, the First point on how to be happy is to see the world where there are great
er and bigger problems. Then, your problems will appear smaller. The moment your
problems appear smaller, you will get the energy and confidence to deal with it
or solve it. In simple words, serve those who are in greater need.
Second, look at your own life. In the past, you had many problems. They have all
come and gone. Know that even this will go and you do have the energy and power
to overcome it. You will get self-confidence by understanding and looking at yo
ur own past.
Third, and most important, do some breathing exercise and relaxation.Make Medita
tion a Part of Life.Modern life's demands lead to stress and restlessness, which
can be released through a few minutes of meditation. Meditation gives you deep
rest. The deeper you are able to rest, the more dynamic you will be in activity.
It is the best tool to wipe your mind clean of all past impressions that weigh
you down.

Often, we get pulled in different directions and are unable to devote time to ou
rselves. We do not take out the time to think and reflect. This can leave us dul
l and tired. A few quiet moments everyday are the source of creativity. Silence
heals and rejuvenates and gives you depth and stability.
Sometime during the day, sit for a few minutes; get into the cave of your heart,
eyes closed, and keep the world away.Just turn inwards to the Source, there is
no sadness. Once you learn how to go inwards the world doesn't seem sad. Birds a
re chirping;the river is flowing. Where is the sadness? I only see beauty in the
world. Just look at all the faces (here)they are so happy!In life, there s 20 per
cent sadness and 80 percent happiness. But our mind makes the 20 percent into 20
00 percent.
Fourth, do you know, in anger we say, I give up . Without frustration or anger say,
I give this problem up, I cannot solve it, let the Divine help me. And know that
you will always be helped. Have the confidence that you will be helped; a power
in the universe is going to help you.
The Fifth one , What do you think is the fifth one?
I leave it to you. You think about the fifth one. I can go on up to twenty-five
or thirty (points), but I would like you to come up with it. We are always looki
ng for solutions from someone.
We forget that if we turn our mind inward, we can get some idea, some solution.
This is the fifth one. Spontaneity! Be spontaneous
Spontaneity will come when you take a few minutes to go deep within yourself. Th
ere is nothing great in smiling when everything is normal, and when everything i
s going the way you want. But if you awaken the valor inside of you, and say, Com
e what may, I am going to keep smiling , you will notice tremendous energy, just r
ise from within you. And the problem is like nothing; it just comes and disappea
rs.
Think ..Think...Any new ideas...There are plenty
Serve You can make service your habit.Make a commitment to make this world a bet
ter place to live. Do some acts of kindness without expecting anything in return
. Service alone can bring contentment in life. It creates a sense of connectedne
ss. When you bring some relief to someone through selfless service, good vibrati
ons come to you. When you show kindness, your true nature, which is love and pea
ce, come to the surface.
Human life has two purposes. One is how much you take, and second is how much yo
u give. So, what is that you can take in the world? You cannot take all the mone
y out of this world. You may earn millions of dollars, but you will have to leav
e it here. It cannot go with you. The millions of dollars or euro you earn come
to help to take care of your food, clothing, a little comfortable bed and room t
o sleep, and travel a bit here and there. That is all. It cannot bring happiness
.
We should not expect money to bring us happiness. If we do it, we are not intell
igent. If we think money is going to bring us happiness, it is like saying, I can
eat coins and get rid of my hunger . You need an eatable to get out of your hunge
r, and not Euros or coins. That is all. It cannot bring happiness. You should no
t expect money to bring you happiness. You can buy an eatable with Euro, that is
a different thing.
Ultimately, happiness cannot be bought by money. We must know this very well. So

, get all this comfort in life. But what is it you should get? Comfort is a smal
l thing. But what is it that you can take with you? What can go with you is know
ledge. What gets imprinted in the consciousness is knowledge. So, how much knowl
edge have you gained?
Knowledge is not what you read in a book, but it is awareness. How much awarenes
s you have gained? How much broadness in your mind has come up? And in giving, h
ow much love have you given back to the world.
So, how much love have you given?
And how much knowledge have you taken?
These are the only two things that will be asked, and that makes life more fruit
ful. So, we are all on the right track.
There are two kinds of happiness, one is the happiness that you get by getting a
nd another is by giving. Like children, if you give them sweets in their hands t
hey become so happy, happiness of gaining something. But if you ask the adults o
f the house, the grandmother and the grandfather when their grandchildren visit
they make different kinds of food and feed everybody and they are happy. It s a ma
ture joy of the elders in giving. When they give somebody something they feel so
happy.
Only in giving there is happiness .
So until you don t give yourself to others you will not find contentment or happin
ess. You can never be content in taking. Contentment comes only in giving. But p
eople want to be contented in taking and they go after things but no one finds c
ontentment. That is why people are not contented.
People often ask how can they get more happiness and joy from everywhere?
This race of more and more is killing us. More and more and more How can I get m
ore? Relax my dear. We don t even have enough time to enjoy what we have. We shoul
d think how can I be more useful to the society, how can I serve more? One who i
s always thinking of getting something is like a beggar. Everything comes to the
one who thinks how she/he can contribute more to the society. There won t be any
lack for such a person.
Whole our life we keep on running behind things with the hope of getting somethi
ng. We keep on looking for some kind of profit. How would such person experience
happiness? Neither does a greedy person get happiness nor does a person who is
bombarded with too many desires. The one who relaxes in his consciousness is hap
py. One, who is centered, experiences the true happiness. I am not saying there
is no happiness in the outer world, but the happiness you get when you go within
is incomparable.
Feel Grateful. Our love, faith, and belief should be deep-rooted, and then every
thing else moves on its own. The feeling that "I am blessed" can help you overco
me any failure. Once you realize that you are blessed, then all the complaints a
nd grumbling disappear, all the insecurities disappear and you become grateful,
contented and peaceful. More gratefulness and gratitude means more grace. More g
race means more happiness, more knowledge.
Spend time with Nature.If you are not amazed by the magnificence of this creatio
n -- your eyes are not yet opened. Tell me, what in this creation is not a myste
ry? Birth is a mystery; death is a mystery. If both birth and death are mysterie
s, then life is certainly a greater mystery.

Being completely immersed in the mystery of life and in this creation is samadhi
.Just like we live in the outer world of events and circumstances, we also live
in the inner world of emotions and feelings, which we are not always aware of. T
he distance between the outer and the inner worlds is just the blink of an eye.
Yoga is the skill of keeping attention on the inner world while acting in the ou
ter. When you are lost in the outside world, there is disharmony in the inner wo
rld and life is like a war. When you are established in the inner world, there i
s clarity in the outer world and life becomes a game.
Perform your duties 100%.You have to perform your duty and you have to be happy.
Why do you want to have a choice between these two? Hmm... If there is a choice
, go for duty first because if you are unhappy it may be momentary, right?
Happiness is there, will come. But if you are choosing happiness before duty the
n you will be unhappy in the end. So it s better to be unhappy in the beginning th
an keep it a long, long program. When you have given your 100 percent, physicall
y, intellectually then you realize you are not doing, but things are happening.
Very often, people ask me how I see the future. And I say that the future is for
them to build however they want it. The unwise regret the past, think the futur
e is destiny and are miserable in present.
The wise see their past as destiny, the future as free will and are happy in the
present.
You can be happy come what may, that is spirituality.Come what may, however ever
ything is, topsy turvy or not, you can decide to be happy and you can be happy!
Happiness should also be controlled. When we are happy, we should channelize our
happiness." Sukh mein seva, Dukh mein tyaag " memorize this formula.
When you are happy, do some Service, and when you are sad or miserable then surr
ender your sorrow. If you do not have the attitude of surrender, sorrow will nev
er leave you. If one does not surrender even in sorrow, then there is no way out
for that person. Surrender and Service, both should go together in life.
The world is running in search of happiness. The body gets baked, the mind gets
baked, the intellect gets deluded but still we keep on getting stuck in the same
repetitive cycle. When you meet Guru, you come to know that you are the source
of happiness. Then the mind calms down, and you realize that you are the one in
whose search you kept on running here and there.
Happiness is when you want nothing and you want to give.... When the wants and d
esires end and the sharing begins....
Happiness is exactly there.
Just be happy and bring happiness to others. With love you can win over everythi
ng. So put all your effort.
