Day 7.Fearlessness/ Abhayam (6)

Happiness is the  constant  pursuit of all beings. Whatever be the vocation pursued, the main goal for most is attainment of happiness.

The method of achieving the goal may be different. The manner of enjoyment may be different and the factors that make one happy also may differ, but the final goal is same.

Yet the answer is elusive as to what will fetch happiness, what constitutes happiness, what will lead to total  happiness?

This is all the more evident among the urbanites and highly successful people.

 ( Rich kids, with all facilities/comforts are easily  bored most of the time).

Because in them the level of frustration seems to be high vis-a vis others. Or one thinks so.

 Most of the people consider  that they are missing something and if that is achieved full happiness will follow. 

But they are not able to pinpoint ,what is really missing. However,  they know for sure something is missing. This thinking continues  unabated  till the very end for many. 

It is is like Alexander's chase to conquer the world  and  ending with  empty hands !!!

 It is, therefore, necessary for each one to ask the following-

·         Am I a happy person now?

·         What is my Happiness Quotient- say out of 10?

·         What are the  gaps ,if any, in my  happiness bouquet ?

 A ruthless honest review will help immensely to take corrective measures. Don’t you think so?

Be happy. Be safe.

  1. Happiness is a state of mind. It cannot be converted in to numbers.As long as one thinks that material objects would give happiness, they would never be happy. From childhood we would have experienced no single plaything would interest the child forever. After sometime the child would throw away the toy and search for a new toy. Similar is the case with all other material objects.The only way to achieve happiness is to detach one from the attraction of material objects.
