Whenever we ask our friends “how are you?” they usually respond by saying “fine”! This is because our asking and their answering is casual and does not mean the words we speak! In fact; usually we speak and communicate from a very superficial and casual stratum of mind. We are not aware enough to think of the deeper meaning or purport of what we speak!

Often we say; that we are fine, when in fact we are not; because we don’t know whether we are happy or not and what could be the causes of happiness or sadness of a person.

It is often said by the spiritual masters (who appear to know and experience “true happiness”) that we should conquer the six enemies; desire, anger, attachment, jealousy, arrogance, craving (KAMA, KRODHA, LOBHA, MOHA, MADA, MATSARA); to be happy!

But our usual experience is that we can not conquer these and we come to terms with life and keep declaring that we are happy; even amidst conflicts, problems and misery!

In fact we begin to explain ourselves and convince that even the great spiritual masters suffer; and hence drawbacks and suffering are inevitable parts of life. We accept our defeat and call the “defeat” itself “success”; and “misery” itself “happiness!!

Being happy is actually a product of our growth, development and blossoming! It is like getting a prize; after studying and passing each test! But just as for passing in each test; the bare minimum prerequisite is to appear for the test; similarly for getting the gift of happiness we have to be; during after every ordeal; in connection with our inner self; through NAMASMARAN (or whatever means, endeavors, techniques we trained and convinced to be in).

Being happy is like blossoming of flowers and ripening of fruits. “Being happy” declares itself undeniably and unequivocally! Further more; “being happy” showers benevolence on others in various forms; but especially global perspective, policies, plans and programs!

“Being happy” is being one with every bit of growth and blossoming of everything and every being; such as the rivers, mountains, gardens, animals, plants and people; in any and every part of the world; and every victorious action; to conquer every bit of disease, distress, degeneration, decay, decomposition and destruction in the world!
