Pleasure and happiness...

Happiness actually has nothing to do with pleasure. You feel pleasure when you want something and you get it; or when you don't want something and you remove it. Pleasure is always relative.

True happiness on the other hand, exists irrespective of our circumstances. It is unaffected by the ups and downs of life. It is all permeable... It permeates through rejection and recognition alike and is as untouched by desires as it is by fulfillment. It's existence is contingent upon nothing... It exists in a void... is absolute... it is a state of 'happiness hamesha'

Awareness and Acceptance of ourselves, and our life circumstances are the two major landmarks in the journey towards achieving 'happiness hamesha'.

  1. We often don't feel happy because we give that power in hands of others, and forget that relationships are to make us happier but we have to make and find our own happiness.
