the speaking tree - Happiness From Within
HARSH KABRA
|
The driving force behind every individual's worldly pursuit is a craving for mental peace and material pleasure. The yearning is for happiness that is selfsustaining and that cannot be impeded even by the strongest resistance. This longing for happiness is founded on definite expectations that revolve around intuitive happiness that is integral to the being.The pleasure of the pursuit and realisation of the Almighty inspires happiness that is overwhelming and results in the culmination of Self-discovery . But why does happiness continue to elude us?
The Bhagwad Gita says that whenever the wavering heart wanders away , then so often let him subdue it and bring it back to the control of the soul; for, supreme happiness comes to the yogin whose heart is at rest, in whom passion is tranquillised, who is one with Brahmn, and free from sin.
We need an escort while trekking, climbing peaks and traversing forests so that he anticipates and solves on our behalf all likely obstacles and setbacks we are likely to face during our journey . Similarly , the feeling of Divinity as an escort ameliorates the difficult path of the spiritual seeker, making his advance appear effortless.
The mere assurance of an escort personifying strength, vigour, enterprise and success makes difficult situations endurable. Happiness that emanates from dilution of the self is lasting in nature. This selfless state of the mind cannot be generically defined, but is characterised by the absence of anger and frustration.
