THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS







AS WE ALL KNOW HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN.IT IS NOT DEPENDENT ON EXTERNAL THINGS OR ON OTHER PEOPLE.YOU BECOME VULNERABLE AND CAN BE EASILY HURT WHEN YOUR FELLINGS OF SECURITY AND HAPPINESS DEPEND ON OTHER'S BEHAVIOR AND ACTIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE.NEVER GIVE YOUR POWER TO ANYONE ELSE.TRY TO NOT ATTACHED TO THINGS.IN THIS THREE DIMENSIONAL WORLD WE LEARN FROM RELATIONSHIPS,NOT THINGS.WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT TAKE THINGS WHEN YOU LEAVE.

WHEN WE DIE AND OUR SOUL PROGRESS TO HIGHER DIMENSIONS,WE TAKE OUR BEHAVIOR, OUR DEEDS ,OUR THOUGHTS AND OUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US.HOW WE TREATED WITH OTHERS IN RELATIONSHIPS IS INFINITELY MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT WE ACCUMULATED MATERIALLY.ALSO,WE GAIN OR LOSE MANY MATERIAL OBJECTS DURING THE COURSE OF OUR LIFETIMES.
LOVE YOURSELF.DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS.IF YOU REALLY NEED TO AND WANT TO SOME OFFER OR OBLIGATION,SAY SO.IF YOU FELL TO DO SO,ANGER WILL CREEP IN YOU.ONE OF MOST IMPORTANT OF LIFE'S LESSONS IS TO LEARN INDEPENDENCE,TO UNDERSTAND FREEDOM.

What We Think We Become 


Thought is all important for "what we think we become." There was once a Sannyasin, a holy man, who sat under a tree and taught the people. He drank milk, and ate only fruit, and made endless 'Pranayamas,' and felt himself to be very holy. In the same village lived an evil woman. Every day the Sannyasin went and warned her that her wickedness would lead her to hell. The poor woman, unable to change her method of life which was her only means of livelihood, was still much moved by the terrible future depicted by the Sannyasin. She wept and prayed to the Lord, begging Him to forgive her because she could not help herself.  



 

By and by both the holy man and the evil woman died. The angels came and bore her to heaven, while the demons claimed the soul of the Sannyasin. "Why is this!" he exclaimed, "have I not lived a most holy life, and preached holiness to everybody? Why should I be taken to hell while this wicked woman is taken to heaven?" "Because," answered the demons, "while she was forced to commit unholy acts, her mind was always fixed on the Lord and she sought deliverance, which has now come to her. But you, on the contrary, while you performed only holy acts, had your mind always fixed on the wickedness of others. You saw only of sin, and thought only of sin, so now you have to go to that place where only sin is." The moral of the story is obvious: The outer life avails little. The heart must be pure and the pure heart sees only good, never evil. We should never try to be guardians of mankind, or to stand on a pedestal as saints reforming sinners. Let us rather purify ourselves and the result must be that in so doing we shall help others.
