Are You Not Happy? Why?

Centuries have elapsed in search of material comforts and spiritual joy. Still you ask a person if he is happy or if he has spent a life with happiness surrounded, he will have no answer. He will stare at you silently, as if, silently to hurl a question at you:
Happiness! What is that? Happiness! Yes, I have heard of it.

What is your question?

A section of our people loves to sweat in the field of political administration. For reasons that favor them only they have attempted to tame us all.  They have been successful and unsuccessful in this goal. But we have practiced not to question each and everything. Thus you do not have a question. Hence you do not have an answer too, even in respect of happiness. The questions would have been like these:

What is happiness? Is the person really happy whom I consider happy? How a person can achieve happiness? Is there practically anything that we call happiness? Well, I am a poor man in comparison to many. Well, I do not have such beautiful things which another person has. Is he happy for these? People of some centuries back have not things of luxury as we have today. They have no idea of machines that save our time and that produce beautiful commodities which are very helpful to us and which have awarded us much comfort. Still are we happier than them? Are we happier than a Shakespeare or a Kalidasa or a Newton or a De Vinci? Were they not happy?

We have not learned to question. We have sacrificed questioning.

Young people are the question box

Questions arise in the mind of a boy or a girl. Yes, still it does arise. It does not develop as we do suppress it almost always. So, spare a little time of your life for the youth. The first time they see a rose and questions raise tiny heads in their mind. This leads to the wonderful realm of discourses. It is a colorful world of differences and arguments and visionaries. And a new lesson you will find in this space. You have a tale to tell and others have too. They are ready to listen to what you will tell and it is their natural expectation that you too will listen to in reciprocation. Yes, you will listen and consider if there is truth in them. This will teach us to be democrat, that is, to consider and respect stories of others. Thus you will acquire perseverance and toleration. Thus we will realize the importance of our existence and importance of the present time and essence of happiness in their context.

Be a busy bee in your time

It is sad that we hardly live in our time. We generally move to the past and feel that in the past days have been golden and that we have been living in a torture chamber. Otherwise, we go straight to the future. Then also we feel pain as the future is uncertain and convincingly bleak and a sense of insecurity appears straight to attack us. But reaching to the future only we evaluate the past and it gives us pleasure and some consolation sometimes. Why then we will not live in the present time and dream to drink life to the bottom? Music is there, film is there, flowers are in the garden, a blue sky is above and young gal and guys are moving around like beautiful butterflies. Test it, chew it and devour it. Pay attention to small things and big things too. The river Colorado has been cleaned. Remember the venture and you will feel happy if you want to be. Let us hope that the curse of the Lehman Bros will not last long. Your child will not return as a boomerang kid. One day we will be able to find peace and non-violence everywhere. One day frowning of global warming will be a thing of the past. One day there will be no war and never there will it be.
