Most of us foolishly feel that somebody else or something else can make us happy. We search for voluptuous girlfriends, loving wives, lucrative jobs, the latest car model and plush apartments. However after years of struggle we find out that true happiness consists in killing selfishness and that no one can make us happy except ourselves.
Happiness presents itself before man, wearing the crown of sorrow on its head. They are really two sides of the same coin. You cannot have one and leave out the other. If a man is rich, he has no children or he is a repository of multiple diseases. If he is hungry and poor, he has a whole regiment of children and does not know what to do with them. If he has plenty to eat, his digestion is out of order and he cannot eat. If his digestion is good, he does not have enough food to put into his mouth. Our problem is that we feel we can have happiness without misery.
As long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. I am saying this from my own experiences. Do not depend on others to give you happiness. Be independent, search for your own happiness from within you. Be spiritually strong and educated, have faith in God and you will be free of all misery. Having said that, it is not easy to do. You have to train your mind day in and day out to achieve this, but that is THE only way to flush out all misery out of your life. So dig deep within yourself….happiness is waiting to be explored!!
