The river of life has two banks – one is happiness and the other is sorrow. Just as death follows birth, day follows night, hope and despair, gain and loss come and go in their natural order, similarly happiness and sorrow come and go in life according to time.
Human beings by nature only want happiness. No one wants to be unhappy in their life. But still sorrows come, inauspiciousness happens and a chain of negative thoughts is formed. When it is impossible to get rid of such a situation, then what should be done to get happiness in life, it is a question to be considered. Human life is very rare. There is no meaning of life in being happy in happiness and being sad in sorrow.
To be happy, it is necessary to control useless thoughts and think positively. Healthy and positive thoughts are the foundation stone of all round development. Such a situation keeps us comfortable even when there are sorrows and adverse situations. Every particle of nature keeps on giving us the message of charity. Nature has infinite blessings on us. What would be our condition if we do not get life air, do not get water and food. The contribution of nature in building our lives can never be forgotten.
Our physical body is made up of five elements and merges into these. What can be a greater miracle of nature than this? This world is really based on the cooperation of each other, so we should make life meaningful by benefiting from the opportunities of charity which is the basis of a happy life. To be happy, we should make others happy. The desire for everyone’s happiness should remain in our heart. As long as we only wish for happiness for ourselves and unhappiness for others, we are unhappy.
To be happy, we should speak lovely words. There is amazing power in speech. Based on the words spoken, we can be a king without a crown. With the discipline or proper use of speech, we can make a connection with sweetness in life forever. By suppressing anger, you can provide health to the mind, intellect and body. Giving place to excessive desires also obstructs the path of happiness. It has also been said –
Reduce desires, life tells this. If the load is too much, the boat sinks.
That’s why living should be done with easily available means. Contentment is the ultimate happiness. To get this ultimate happiness, all great men have accepted that we should limit our aspirations. Lord Mahavira’s doctrine of non-violence plays an important role in this context. Santosh is the philosopher’s stone, which turns everything it touches into gold.
The feeling of welfare of mere living beings also paves the way to happiness. Don’t know why today we keep on weaving the fabric of thoughts and frustrate life with negative thoughts, nothing is lost from us in changing the direction of thoughts. There is a need to take steps in this direction, to change the mind. By adopting the feeling of kindness, the feeling of welfare of all proves to be a milestone in the attainment of happiness.
Equality in life is also an infallible mantra to get happiness. It is a means of finding happiness in sorrow. This feeling gives firmness to the mind and does not allow the mind to be disturbed even when physical pain comes. It is very important to have a constant awareness of the impermanence of life. Don’t know why we think that we are immortal, even after seeing our dear ones being destroyed by time, nothing is going to spoil us. This feeling is robbing us of our happiness. Until we realize the impermanence of life from within, it is difficult to find the path of happiness.
Happiness and sorrow are related to each other like sunshine and shadow. Excess happiness in happiness and sadness in sorrow – this is the biggest obstacle to happiness. No power can snatch happiness from a person who knows how to remain balanced in both the situations. In this lies the secret of happiness.
