Happinees...........the thing nobody knows about but yet everybody wants to catch hold of it....

Really I have tried a lot to understand about it..but in the end was never able to arrive at any conclusion......

What is happiness?,,,,thats the question troubling me from quite a few years. I have thought a lot about it...asked about happiness to lot of people around me...but nobody was able to give me a comfortable answer which can make me satisfied... Some of the answers I came to heard are

Happiness is absense of troubles..

Happiness arise from a problem free life..

Happiness is fulfillment of your dreams.

Happiness is feeling when u achieve evryhting u want.

And a lot and lot of things having the same meaning...

Many of us connects happiness to achieve something in life. We all in our life time has felt so called ”happy” when we achieve something, it may be getting admission in to some gr8 institute or getting success in buisness or meeting someone special. Does the feeling is really ”happiness”..if it is why we feel it only for a short time.

 Why the feeling disappears after somedays after achieving our desired goal.?

Why we dont feel it continuously as we have already achieved what we desired for?

I think we are missing something here. Happiness cant be fulfillment of your desire or the feeling after you have achieved something.

What i think happiness is (I may be totally wrong)...

HAPPINESS is the ABSENSE OF DESIRE

Have you ever thought what make you feel happy when you get what you want. If the answer is NO..please try it

I think when we achieve anything ..for some period of time our mind becomes so obessed with it that we at that point have no desires. Our mind at that point is totally absent of any desire. Thats it..the feeling of NO DESIRE is that feeling which we call happiness....but as the time passes our mind sees some new dreams..some new desires pop up... which destroys the feeling of happiness which we felt some time ago...

So to be happy we should do our karma without any desire or hoping to get something in return......but I know it is very easy to say but to put it in practise it too tough......

Dont u think its a irony ..we DESIRE for a FEELING OF NO DESIRE.

But my other view point says that if we will have NO DESIRE we will never be able to stretch ourselves to limit to achieve it and we will never be able to  grow .....

But the question arises again...after achieving so much do we really feel HAPPY...

Friends if you have reached till the end of this post of my confused mind...do think on it and provide your comments feeling....
