Oh Happiness!!! stop playing hide and seek .. and finally you are caught..
Before getting inspired to write this article I was continuously searching for happiness. I was searching happiness in form of wealth, success, name and fame..Somehow I came across a questionnaire which started running in my mind. It was asking me again and again if I get all the wealth, then i will be the happiest person on the earth?
if I get all the success, then I will be the happiest person on the earth?
if I get all the name and fame, then I will be the happiest person on the earth?
Something from inside was burning harshly..I was not getting peace in any form.
I was continuously postponing my happiness to one or other event in my life.
In my search of happiness I went to art of living center near my home. It was closed. I became upset and as if to show me that "see now I am calling you" or may be my strong urge for happiness was heard very next day. An advertisement in newspaper took my sight from Art of living. I called immediately and I found they were so helping. They came to my place to help me manage time and get enrolled. At some corner of my mind, I was afraid or say reluctant of going but I forced myself to go anyhow and I would say my journey with myself began.
Daily during Sudarshan Kriya I was passing through new experiences. It was very difficult for me to handle vibrations in my body, a huge ball of light in front of my closed eyes. I was getting afraid of all these but they all were relieving me of my own being, the ego, the blockages which I was carrying throughout my life in one or other way.
I would like to say since my entire childhood and till the age now I was the selected one to get into touch with many many inspirational people around. At the age of 12 yrs, I went to attend satsang organized by late Mr. Daulat Desai who was motivational trainer. He was trainer with channel of krishna bhakti in his trainings. He described an incident when we visited Alps with his daughter Kirtida Desai. There were noone who knew them. They were unknown to all people around and suddenly atmosphere around started becoming very pleasant. They both got so much overwhelmed with beauty of nature and reached a point of meditative state. They started dancing and enjoying in the way their body and mind felt. There egos were aside. They knew there was no one, who knew them, they just enjoyed, enjoyed and enjoyed. Suddenly a known person came and said " oh Daulatbhai, tame ahiya" " Daulatbhai, you here" and all there happiness melted. They came again in state of their egos. He became Daulatbhai again. Sometimes being nothing is much much a greater boon then to be someone. We all cover ourselves by our external being, by our own self raised egos and loose the actual state of happiness.
Whenever I see my 3 yrs old son dancing and playing, it gives me a great, great inner sense of happiness, a sheer state of satisfaction. Its so fulfilling. I feel, he doesn't know anything such as hygiene, nothing such as consequences. He is not aware he will fall seek, if he gets wet in rain, makes his hands dirty. He enjoys only being himself. He doesn't have any such feeling what will others think about me. Just just being happy with himself and that's happiness. I wish he stays like this always without any external covering.
I have to make myself practice a truth of life that is always said in very simple manner that all happiness is followed by sorrow and again happiness. You have to pass your life with a state of mind of a silent witness. Though it's very very difficult but activating a thought process and maintaining it with meditation can definitely link your state of mind to something, HAPPINESS.
