Happiness.. the undying quest of life.

Happiness is the unquenchable thirst and the insatiable hunger of  the entire human kind.

It is the undying quest of life, we are all searching for it , longing for it ... all the time. 

Happiness ... whatever it is ... Is Divine !!

When our life moves in the direction which we want , we feel happy. When we achieve our goals, we feel happy.

Our Political & Spiritual Leader, Mahatma Gandhi quite rightly said so ... “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” 

The Buddha's entire teaching revolves around the question of how to overcome human suffering and attain happiness. 

We all hear that Happiness is a state of mind rather than consequences of circumstances. This bliss is nothing but an elusive state of mind, which is here one moment and gone the next.

Since this Happiness is in the Mind,  it is quite possible that the the Real Source of happiness lies in the mind itself, not in external circumstances. Thus , it should be as simple as this ...If our mind is calm and peaceful,  we shall be happy, regardless of our external conditions.   So, should we train our minds to accept whatever happens to us, and thus become happy ? Had the mind been so naive, it would have been easier for sure. Well, surely there must be some other secret to happiness.

Happiness is within us , under wraps of mysterious coverings, which we cannot find, thus cannot remove. And these coverings are like ever growing creepers, if you remove one, other will grow. So, by the time you remove one , and catch hold of a glimpse of the so called Happiness, the other creeper will grow fast and cover it up all over again. And by the time you remove this one , the other one will grow.  And mind it, since this so called Happiness is within you, these creepers are also bound to be within us ...possibly in our minds.. or probably even ... sown and reaped by us or our minds.  I think this is The Catch. Well, could it be that simple ?

REBIRTH ....Why a baby cannot walk ... talk .. etc.

Babies are all what we are .... complete... !! If you believe in rebirth then this theory and logic holds true. God has created 9 months of gestation which is enough time for the physical growth of life. What about the soul's growth ? The reborn soul is forced to remain in such an environment for 9 months which is dark and aloof from the rest of the world so that he / she gets detached from his / her previous life. Even his air, food etc. everything is completely changed ... so that he / she does not remember anything at all. Probably He could'nt let the gestation period be longer than 9 months because it was impossible for the carrier... thanks :) . And when the baby is born ... God has designed it so beautifully... the baby cannot talk ... and he cannot walk. Cause, if walk he could, he would have walked rather ran to his previous house and family. Cause if talk he could, he would have told his past life story to his new family which would have caused much chaos. So, by the time the baby is able to learn walking and talking ... taught by his new family ... he can hardly remember anything :) ... wow what a theory and if it is .. what a well designed cyclic system. Hats Off... Lord .. You are Great : ) !!!!

WHAT IS MIGHTIER... BRAIN OR INTELLIGENCE ?

HEART OR LOVE ?

MOTHER OR CHILD ?

FRUITS OR NUTRIENTS ?

FLOWER OR FRAGRANCE ?

I think two of these cannot be and should not compared. One is the owner of the other. One gives birth to the other. The other exists because of the prior.

Even then , my brain wants an answer. So I would say INTELLIGENCE. Cos brain was created for THIS purpose. INTELLIGENCE was required, thus mind was created. If there was no intelligence, whats the use of the brain ??

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE OF LIFE ?

Sometimes I think life is just a loooooong dream... to which we never awake. Someone else will do that for us... coz we are too much engrossed in our dream... that we will never awake on our own... someone else, probably God will end our sleep. AND, this loooong dream seems to be only too long to us, but I guess , in the whole universe , this life time.. is not a long time. So its quite possible that its just a dream. AND, like we cannot dream what we want, we just keep dreaming about strange things and when we wake up, we wonder .. why the hell we dreamt about this and so on.

We create a world of our own and think that if we do so called good things, we will be so called happy. If we leady a happy life, we have done a great job. BINGO. But sometimes, I feel, what is life, what is music. Music , sound ... is it not just different velocities of molecules. What are these beautiful colours ... are they not just electromagnetic waves.
I think our system is just so designed so that we are able to preserve something called HUMAN GENES. And thats IT !!!! How important are you in this Universe of a billion stars ? Do they know your name ? Or does anyone there know YOU exist ? My life is limited, eternity is infinite... does it make a difference if this molecular mass did'nt exist ? Why am I here now, not then ? How did I come here ? For what ? Humans have made cars, aeroplanes, telephones, houses etc. etc. etc.. but at least all of these inventions have a PURPOSE. BUT, MORE IMPORTANT, does any of these..... cars, aeroplanes, telephones , houses.... DOES ANY OF THESE KNOW THEIR PURPOSE OF EXISTENCE. Probably they talk a different language and also wonder that what is their real purpose ?????? So it is quite possible, that we have been made for some real purpose , but we are not able to understand that. Hufff.... I ponder again and again over this subject... but I cannot lead anywhere. I am travelling in this CIRCLE, which has no end ... no beginning.

LIFE AND ITS PURPOSE

Although I am posting about this subject , but I am actually looking for the real answer. So please feel free to help me learn more. Well, what could be the actual purpose behind our LIFE ? I might not sound quite nice here but I think, there is no real purpose. What is the purpose of the ants , grasshoppers , fishes, birds, animals etc…. I think we are all here for ecological balance. PERIOD (Ughhh... that could be the most ugly biological version of our purpose of existence !! ) Either God has created us all for sustaining the ecological balance (and his entertainment also to some extend ) or some great biological energy or super power has created us or made us evolve , again for the ecological balance. We are just adding value to the whole biological system by accomplishing our roles in the chain. This was about ‘the purpose’.

Now about life. If above said is the purpose, then life is just a journey, just an allotted role which we have to play. And we are such nerds that , which playing the given roles, we forget that its just a play which would long only for some time ( couple of decades ) … and we get so much influenced and inflate / deflate our so called created EGOES etc. We feel proud of our possessions in the play, forgetting that its just a play. We fall in love and we cry when we part with our loved one… falling in love is fine…but crying and dying over some one else’s death / parting / breaking away … can we make ourselves believe that its only a play.. take it easy… I am not sure if its that easy... well... at the end of the day ..i know .. that this is just a blog post.

WHAT IS TOTAL FREEDOM ?

Only some time back this thought came to my mind that we often talk about freedom without realizing what is actually total and true freedom. When we are not able to do the things we want , we feel that our freedom is restricted. When we are able to do what we want to do, then we feel we are free. But , I , now , feel that Freedom is when you are able to do what you like and also dislike. When you do only the things that you like , you are free only superficially. You only think that you are free. You are actually ruled by your heart or mind. Sometimes its your heart that wants you do a certain thing and sometimes its your mind. So how can you say that you are free when your mind or your heart is ruling your action / thinking and soul ?? Total and true freedom is when you have no restrictions , not from your mind , not from your heart , not from any other person… what ever comes your way , if you are able to swim along the tides coming your way easily, then you are truely free. It is only then when there is no restriction from any direction , that you have attained total freedom.
