Do you know what the illusion of life is?

The answer is- Happiness. It is a mirage that makes you keep running towards it and never surrenders itself. All human beings keep trying to attain happiness. They may get glimpses of it but never removes that thirst that says-‘yes, I am satisfied!’

Happiness also tends to deviate you from your path. Seeking artificial happiness is like dew drops that evaporates with sun shine. True happiness is like sun shine that removes all the shadows of doubts. Being dependent for happiness on artificial things like alcohol, drugs and short lived enjoyments etc. takes you no where. It just gives you a hallucination of being happy which they name it to be REAL but is NOT.

The question is then what is happiness?

Happiness is ‘to be’ and not to seek. Then the next question emerges – how to be? Its simple- INTROSPECT! Yes, introspect your life and your emotions. Dig deep into yourself and you will discover the source of your happiness. The reason of your being. It is very true that you are born for a purpose! And that purpose itself is to be. I must say that real happiness does not lie in the goal but the path that reaches to the goal you keep. I name it ‘PASSION’!

Passion is your fountain of happiness which never dries. It does not make you dependent but rather free you from all the bondages. Passion is what you love to do and keep doing it forever and ever. You never get bored of it or loose interest in it. I will make it clear by quoting some examples of the people who pursued their passion. They were the people like Einstein, Michaelengelo, Mother Teresa and many other passionate people like them whom you might be aware of. They never worked but loved their work. For them their best creation just happened. The fire called passion burnt in all of them. They had one purpose which no one demanded but only their hearts craved. Passion is directed by intuition and emotions following which one leads to only one goal- the goal to be happy and satisfied. Following your heart does not lead you to fame, money, luxuries but alone to happiness. Yes happiness is the only goal that you work towards nevertheless- fame, money, luxuries and all that you desire or can desire fall into your lap as byproducts of following your happiness. This is also what Maslow named ‘self actualization’. You actualize yourself in the process. You discover a new ‘you’. The day you find the purpose of coming into this world- you are born again and that too happily!J
