Happiness is a way of life



Everyone wants to be happy, But only few know what happiness is all about. 

We have been taught that happiness is out of materialistic life. I was told if you score high you get a seat in engineering so that you can be happy. During engineering asked to score high, so that you get a good job and you will be happy. Then after getting job do I happy?  Not at all. Then my ambition is to earn more, so that I can stay in good house and also can own a small moped vehicle. Worked hard one year and my salary was increased. I was happy for few days but again incomplete feeling  and started looking for my happiness in buying Yamaha bike and moving to bigger rented house, Is the journey stopped?  no, not at all. The new target was buying a car and then own house and so on. My mind has been programmed to hunt for the happiness and was in the race to find happiness with outer materialistic achievements.

I believed that, achieving a target can bring happiness. It took long time to realize that, I am only postponing the happiness. We are all in an illusion that others, with more materialistic achievements are happier than us. Materialist happiness only gives momentary happiness and also boosts the ego within us. This in turn keeps you incomplete and unsatisfied. Happiness should come from within. Happiness is a way of life. If you are happy for the reason you are in trouble, because the reason can be taken from you. Even thing’s don’t appear to going perfectly well outwardly, it is still possible to experience the sincere happiness. Because ,It is our inner feeling that creates happiness

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when...

Yoga and meditation for trustful

The trust is derived from the dependability of another person; the dependability is derived from the reliability. The Reliability means consistently performing according to its set standards. Can we apply this for the human beings? Can we expect the consistence performance of any being?   The performance of any person is based on the mind and emotions. Do the mind and emotion are reliable/predictable to themselves? We expect the person to be trustful. When the mind and emotions are not reliable to himself.  How the person can be reliable to others? Then, can the person become trustful to the others is the big question…? No one can be defined as perfect trustful, but some people are obviously more reliable than others to you in those regards. Based on the individual priorities people define the trust and decide who can be more trust or less trust. There is no perfect trust person available. Try and control your mind and emotions as much as po...

Poverty

“What is poverty – the state of being extreme poor ”. Different people have the different poverty. Someone has poverty of wealth. some body has poverty of love, peace,  happiness, health… Everyone has the poverty. Everyone undergo the poverty. Nobody has abundance of everything.   Man was going to temple and saw the beggars sitting at the entrance and explained his child they are poor people and poverty state. He went inside the temple and started praying with the God to provide the health. Child was confused. My experience in the life is that, each one undergoes all type of poverty at different time. When I started my life I had poverty of money, worked for some time and started the business. The moment started experiencing money in hand started feeling the poverty of love after some time got married. Again found poverty of happiness then we had a child and so on. Also my experience is poverty of one can lead to poverty of other. The poverty def...
