happyness....

Happ’I’ ness…..lets take the ‘I’ out of it to be happy…

What is happiness ?....has anybody ever experienced it..? or is it just a myth which people go on searching…something similar to a ghost…a god..or may be an UFO..nobody seems to have ever experienced it…

…One thing is for sure..Talking about happiness or collecting information about it has never made anyone happy... Just as collecting information about water will never quench anybody’s thirst…

Happiness seems to be more than an intellectual understanding…it is more of an experience…it is more a way of life….
Isn’t it ironical that every human being craves to be happy and no one can actually become happy in his seventy years span of life…?

May be a glance at what keeps us unhappy…and an effort to eradicate those might lead us into the path of happiness.. .its worth giving a try I guess..

It is said that since the prehistoric days man have learned most of his survival skills observing the various animals around him…may be he missed to observe one thing…that all other animals in this world are living a perfectly happy life…totally in tune with the environment and the nature which surrounds them….
Only man is not.
..nobody has ever heard of an elephant or a lion or an ant ‘searching’ for happiness…they may be searching for food…but never for happiness...animals seem to be always happy except when they r put into a cage….either in the zoo..or a smaller cage specially made to hang a parrot …it makes one wonder whether it is our jealousy towards the animals which lead us to perform such heinous act after proclaiming to have the highest consciousness among all of god’s creation…

Man has caged everything…..including himself.

Man is unhappy because…it is his choice..!! he has chosen security rather than happiness in every sphere of his life…he has chosen to live by the mind and completely by pass the whispering of his heart….
it is not a surprise that everyone gets worried when someone falls in love…because…
love does not guarantee security …although it never fails to bring tremendous joy to anyone who dares to follow the path decided by love….

A fish in the water is never thirsty…..

A thirst....deep and desperate, arises only when one is disconnected from his natural state of being…and man is suffering this feeling of dislocation since the advent of human race on this planet…..it really makes one wonder…what went wrong..?!!

We have taken ourselves too much away from nature, and the natural instinct that every child is born with…with every new invention that science comes up with….we move a little farther away from the hope of being happy in the world that surrounds us…we have drifted apart so much that….

Happiness has become a fiction…strangely,the most difficult thing today has become to be a happy person….

BUT, there is HOPE……

Because every child is born with the gift of happiness…the gift of joy…there is still hope that if we could make ourselves to return to a state of innocence…happiness is possible…

Happiness is being one with ones ownself…man is completely out of touch with himself..!.. happiness cannot be achieved…just as love cannot be planned…but it can ‘happen’ only if we walk towards.. our ownselves…the nature of the journey will be totally opposite from what the world has been teaching…

It is not a journey from A to B…..but a journey from A to a deeper A…

...a journey where the ego dissolves in every step…a journey devoid of ambition…. contrary to the journey showed by the world where in every passing step …with every social success we go on feeding our own enemy…the ego which finally drives us crazy….
…a journey which involves self realization…. Understanding, experiencing the inner joy…rather than running towards the outer comfort…a journey which takes us closer to nature….and ..takes us towards the true meaning of life...and ..living..

Impractical…is it..?...or did u say irrational…?
Ok….be practical and Remain with your miseries then…that seems to be the destiny of the human race anyway….
…it is not irrelevant that the noted psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud..after a deep analysis of hundreds of human minds once claimed that..

“Man can never be happy…at the most he can be a little less unhappy”
