Happiness through self discovery beyond mind calculations. The world is full of hypocrisy. I read somewhere that one common thing in this world is that all the human beings are imperfect. A wonderful saying indeed. We have haves and have nots both living in this world unmindful of each others lifestyle, each others problems, each others role in the society. The affluent obviously are immersed in the activities of enhancing their wealth. The poorer lot are largely engaged in ignorance. The ignorance is that they would not like to receive humble education and progressive competency to join the main stream life. They are OK with that day’s drudgery, enjoyment in their own way, and their regular in fights in a more natural way.
Human sufferings are mostly not related to money. They are majorly emanated from the perceptional thinking, imaginations, mind calculations and absence of proper goal in life to get themselves engaged in a productive activity. The free time makes them work on the mind calculations and thus unhappiness exudes from somewhere in the mind.
The best way to derive happiness in life is spiritual path. The path which will discipline life. The path which will meet the God. Here the path is self discovery and realization crossing beyond mind and heart. The destination of the path is ‘self’ [atman]. The God is also ‘self’. Thus true realization of self through some sadhana like Yoga or prayers would reveal one’s reality. That is where true happiness lies. You may see the flower below and the radiant Sun above. Both are so vividly effusing light and power. Self is same. Self is blemishless. Self is shining. Self is powerful. Self is pure. Self is immune to worldly things. Self is the God. We the human beings are inviting greed and sorrow ignoring the self and invoking the actions suggested by mind.
The poem below is a depiction of a person who went through such states of life and who realized the God.
