Hello everyone! Today I want to talk about a different topic. You might think why I chose such a high level topic. But though it looks different, it is associated with our daily life.
What is a real happiness? I am always confused with this apparently simple question. We usually believe that happiness is a function of material wealth and it may be true to a limited extent. We often think that money can buy us all the happiness in the world but it ultimately does not turn out to be true.
Happiness, in fact, is a very complex concept. The great Indian scriptures and sages say that happiness comes in attaining ‘Moksha’, which means becoming free from this material world by escaping the cycle of life and death or doing ‘Karma’ which means doing good deeds throughout the life.
There is other form of happiness also that lies in many little everyday things. It can be something such as meeting your family after a long time, getting to drive a car for the first time or hearing your baby talk for the first time. It can be very trivial thing such as getting a glass full of ice-cold water after walking in scorching heat of sun for few hours. It is at such times when you forget everything else and concentrate on these little things that momentarily make you very happy.
To summarize, I believe, everyday happiness lies in enjoying all the little everyday experiences and the ultimate happiness lies in being a good human being throughout your life!
