Happiness

What is happiness? When a person feels that he is the happiest person in the world?

Everyone thinks happiness in their own way. If you ask a jobless man, he would say that he would be happy if he gets a job. Ask an unmarried man, he would say that he would be happy if he gets married. Ask a person who is seeking love from a girl; he would say that he would die for getting the love.

Everyone has their own list. And they will feel happy when their desire becomes fulfilled. But after their desires are got fulfilled are they really happy? Definitely no. Their list grows. And they are not happy anymore.

See the pattern of their desire; they are seeking what they don’t have. If their desire comes fulfilled they will be happy; otherwise not. Unfulfilled desires make their life misery.

How a man will be happier ever? If he has desires which can be fulfilled. Or he is happy with what he got.

If we understand this we will be happier ever. This point is said by most of the yogis. As said by Gowthama Budhdha, unfulfilled desires are the reasons for misery. It is said in first poet of Thuravu adhigaram in Thurukkural. When I read that poet in my childhood, I didn’t get the real meaning. Now I got it.

So I just started to live happy with what I got. Not expecting any more and not having desires which can’t be fulfilled.

Who wants to be a zero?

Who wants to be a zero? In every circumstance everyone wants to be a hero. Whether if it is in a closed room (or) public place everyone wants to be recognized and show cases them different from others. Especially if there is a girl and there are more boys, everyone wants to grab the attention of girl. So they do some funny things. It is true for everyone including me.

I just thought what I have done all these years. Now it seems funny, what I have done to catch the attention from others. In those situations everyone wants to become something which they are not really.

As said by Sadhguru, spirituality is not we are doing; if we stop all the non-sense what we are doing. It is spirituality. So I just stopped doing all these non-sense. Why I should change my behavior and showcase me as some character which really I am not. Now I started watching the world as it is.

I donno what to say after this. I need to revisit this topic again and add more.
