Many people are happy that a product or a place doesn't control their happiness. They think that they can be happy wherever they are and with whatever they have, provided they are living with the one that they love. Unfortunately, this is also a myth. While most would not agree to this, those who realize the Truth will.
There was a woman who was madly in love with her beloved. To her, life was all about being with him. But over a period of time, their relationship fell apart and they got separated. We have heard of many love stories that end in a divorce. What happened to the Bliss that was in that relationship? If it was true happiness, then it should not have disappeared. The world has learnt that being attached to a person is not Ananda – eternal happiness. Somebody may make us joyous today, but the presence of the same person may make us miserable tomorrow. The Truth is that a person doesn't control our happiness for long. Life changes and the people in our life come and go. Nobody will be with us forever.
While it is good to have people whom we love around us and enjoy the Bliss of their company, the wise men of the past have advocated that we must live with detachment and dispassion. We must be conscious of the Truth that people don't create eternal happiness. We must enjoy our relationships without being attached to the people we love. This is true happiness.
