Happiness is not something to be found or bought in the market place. It is within you and us. Recognizing the source of happiness is the pinnacle of spirituality. Analysis of Spiritual Guru Amritanandamayi..
Once upon a time a film was being shown on TV. Some people were staring at it. He was neither hungry nor thirsty. He had also become ignorant of his surrounding environment. Seeing the scenes of the film, sometimes tears came in his eyes, and sometimes he started clapping after being happy. He didn't have to make any effort to be happy. Actually, happiness is not something that can be found in a shop somewhere. It is within us, which can be found even without effort. the day anyone rejoices
Will find the source of living, on the same day he will also get true spirituality.
The source of happiness is within us. Kabir says, 'Kasturi Kundal Base Mrig Dhoonde Van Mahi...'. The deer has musk inside itself, but its fragrance seems to be coming from outside and it wanders in search of it in the forest. In fact, happiness is not in anything, but within us. A person finds happiness either in his work or in relationships or external things. Some find it impossible to live without drugs, while others hate drugs. It simply means that a person takes drugs only to feel stress free. Some can get relief from stress through music and some can get relief from other things. One can also have the addiction of hoarding money. In this way, to get happiness, a person keeps on doing different types of purposes.
Actually, the person keeps running away from himself. He doesn't want to know his truth. He considers only the pleasure he gets from gross things as real, whereas it is temporary. It is not bliss, but an illusion of bliss. After some time one starts getting bored of it. We should not depend on any gross thing to get happiness. Be it happiness or sorrow, we should remain joyful in every situation. Although it is easy to say, very difficult to try.
A man always tries to be happy, but starts feeling sad for his own son when he sees the neighbor's son get more marks in the examination. The mere mention of a person's promotion in the office would create a disturbance in his heart.
Actually, it is not easy to imbibe the fact that happiness does not come from external things. The importance of spiritual practice has been told in our religious philosophy only to make the interview with the truth easy. The impurities that are inside, they are gradually destroyed by this.
The misconceptions that have been made about God that God is responsible for our happiness or unhappiness, with time they also prove to be wrong. Meditation, Bhajan, Satsang - all these are the ways of Sadhana.
Yoga meditation time
One person said that I have to give ten hours to the office. The whole day is spent in meeting, field work, meeting people. It takes an hour to reach home from office. TV-newspaper after coming home,
After tea-breakfast and then talking to the children at the dinner table, where is the time left to do meditation and yoga? He was asked if he relaxes for a few minutes throughout the day. Can there be some reduction in the time spent coming home from office or reading newspapers or watching TV? That time can be used for yoga and meditation. If even ten to fifteen minutes of time is taken out daily, then a person cannot come under stress even in critical situations. We just have to inculcate love towards the goal.
Through meditation
If a stone is thrown continuously in the lake, waves keep rising. In such a situation, there is never an opportunity to see the bottom. Human nature is made up of sattva, rajas and tamas. Sattvic thoughts cannot come in the mind when a person is engrossed in Raja. You have to give yourself time for this. Even while sitting, we
can do something. Make work a meditation. Whatever work you are doing, it can also be made a medium of meditation. Reading spiritual books not only awakens concentration, but also brings purity in thoughts. It can also be read instead of the newspaper. Books nourish our thoughts.
Truth interview
When we meditate, we get acquainted with the truth that what really gives happiness? If we succeed in going within, then it is realized that now we do not need any inspiration. Unless you go into the inner self, happiness is not going to come. Person or devotee is also called Sachchidananda
Goes, means I am. Before knowing oneself, everything is like a mirage. In fact, through spirituality, we come to know that our existence is not limited to the mind and the physical body.
