Everyone
is in search of happiness but one has not decided what happiness is.
Happiness should be such that it is never followed by any misery.
Go
find one instance of such happiness in this world. Eternal happiness,
bliss is within you. Your real Self is an abode of bliss and yet people
are looking for happiness in temporary things. What is this search for
worldly happiness like? Let
me give you an analogy. A very tall man is sleeping on the terrace on a
cold winter night and he has a tiny blanket. If he covers his feet, his
head gets cold and if he covers his head, his feet get cold. He spends the
entire night tossing and turning. This is what the pursuit of worldly
happiness is like. In reality there is no such thing as misery in this
world. It is merely a figment of the imagination. If you project and
imagine that ice cream tastes terrible, you will not enjoy it and if you
project and say that it tastes very good, you will enjoy it. Therefore it
is not real. True happiness should be the same for all. Everyone would
accept it. Truth must be universal. What you believe giving you happiness,
may be tremendously miserable for others, and that is what this world is
like.
