Everybody in this world is seeking happiness. But nobody knows the true meaning of it. That is why the whole world is chasing happiness. They don't realize that happiness is like a shadow. The more you chase it, the further it goes away. But what happens when you stand still? The shadow remains with you. So does happiness.
Happiness is a state of being. It is not something to be achieved; it is not available in a supermarket, nor on any online portal. If we want to be happy, we have to be happy. We don't realize that happiness is within us, but we are seeking it outside. How will we ever find it?
Most people confuse happiness with pleasure. There are some who believe it comes from Peace. Many people attribute happiness to the person they love. And there are still others who want to go to destination Happiness. We don't realize that Happiness is not a product, a person or a place. Happiness is not even a destination. It is the journey itself. Most of us are chasing success, thinking that success will give us Happiness. In the end, we may have a lot of wealth, but no smile on our face.
What is true happiness? It is evolving from pleasure to Peace and then finding the ultimate purpose in life. It is overcoming all sorrow. It is Bliss, a state of being in the Consciousness of the Truth. Let's discover what true happiness is.
