Dear Seema,
What do you mean what is Happiness? Have you never experienced it in your childhood? Or do you feel depressed at present? True happiness is only felt when u merge yourelf with HIM i.e. at the higher stage of meditation when the body becomes lifeless and only the head is at the top. You do not feel any body pain etc. You are so deep into Alpha Level, a state where the brain beats between 7 to 14 cycles per second, and you are simply floating up above in the air by yourself looking around full of happiness. The feeling is one very difficult to describe but easily felt when you are in that state.
In such a state a person never wants to come back to life. Just follow this:
1. Do not critise anyone behind him/her. If you have any misgiving then say it in the presence of that person.
2. Do not gossip at all as this is the cause of harm to many.
3. Always Donate something or the other at all times, daily at least. Donate money howsoever little, clothes or any thing in kind. You will remember there are still people who save some amount as donation separtely and give it to helpful organisations or to the poor every week/month.
4. Always do one good deed daily.
You follow the above sincerely and you will never ask what is Happiness but would ask what is Sadness.
The root cause of all unhappiness is we want to outdo others, we hate others because they are richer than us or they are more capable than us or they can outbeat us. We compare ourselves to others but we do not acknowledge that it is none of our business to do so. Hatred, dislike and such things occupy our mind and heart and so we say good bye to happiness. Forgive everyone for their mistakes also will make you happy. This will lighten your heart and the mind.
Pravin Kumar.
