Definition of Happiness.......!!! Jai Sai Ram

 

Man wants happiness. He shuns pain. He moves heaven and earth to get

the happiness he wants from sensual objects, and lo, gets himself

entangled in the extricable meshes of Maya. Poor man! He does not

know that these objects are perishable and evanescent, finite and

conditioned in time, space, and causation. And what is more, he fails

to get the desired happiness from them. Sensual pleasure is

tantalizing. There is enchantment so long as man does not possess the

objects. The moment he is in possession of the object, the charm

vanishes. He finds that he is in entanglement.

 

A worldly man is always drowned in sorrow. He is ever struggling to

get something, some money, some power, some position, and so on. He

is always anxious as to whether or not he would get it. Even when he

is in actual possession of the thing he so passionately longed for,

he is very anxious lest he should lose it.

 

A rich man has great wealth, but he has no children. And so he is

pained at heart. A poor man has fourteen children, but he has nothing

to eat, and so he is miserable. One man has wealth and children, but

his son is a vagabond, and so he is worried. One man has riches and

good sons, but his wife is very quarrelsome. No one is happy in this

world.

 

You cannot have pleasure without pain. Wherever there is pleasure,

there is pain. You vainly seek pleasure in gold, in women (or men in

the case of women), in this mundane existence. You cannot have

absolute happiness in a relative physical plane of pairs of

opposites. The pairs of opposites rotate in their turn. Death follows

life. Night follows day. Light follows darkness. Pain follows

pleasure.

 

Pleasure and pain are two names for one thing. They are two aspects

of one thing. For a worldly man without philosophical knowledge, they

appear as two different entities.

 

Real happiness is within you. It is in the Atman. It is subjective.

It manifests when the mind is concentrated. When the Indriyas are

withdrawn from the objects outside, when the mind is one-pointed,

when there is Vasana-kshya and Manonasa, when you become desireless

and thoughtless, Atmic bliss begins to dawn, spiritual Ananda begins

to thrill.

 

The musk is in the navel of the deer, but it runs here and there to

smell it. The chain is in the neck of the damsel, but she runs hither

and thither in search of it. The precious diamond is within you, but

you run after the broken glass-pieces in vain. Even so, the ocean of

bliss is within you; the fountain of joy is within you; and yet, you

run here and there in search of it. The Sun of suns is ever shining

in you, but your blind eyes cannot behold it. The eternal sound is

ringing within you, but your deaf ears cannot hear it.

 

Spiritual bliss is the highest bliss. Spiritual bliss is bliss of

one's own Soul. It is transcendental bliss. It is independent of

objects. It is continuous, uniform and eternal. It is enjoyed by the

sage only.

 

This world is a mere appearance. Mind and the senses are deceiving

you every moment. You have mistaken pain for pleasure. There is not

even an iota of happiness in this sense-universe. Abandon these

selfish struggles and schemes for amassing wealth. March directly to

that wire-puller who is moving these toys of fleshy human bodies, who

is keeping up this big show. In Him only you will find lasting

happiness and perennial joy. Merge in Him by practicing daily

meditation and japa.

 

Baba Said....

 

"Keep your faith in any one place (point) you like place, stick

quietly to one place.".

 

The best way to serve God is to Love All – Serve All

 

In one of the Divine messages, BABA said that on seeing his human

form, we are tempted to treat it casually or view it with love as an

embodiment in human form. He reiterates that this is not correct.

Because HE is not the body; HE is not the mind; HE is not the

intellect (Budhi); HE is not the will (chitha); HE is not the inner

motivator (Antahkarana); HE is also not any specific object. HE has

assumed this human form for the sake of mankind.

 

In fact, there is no one knows even a fragment about BABA's Divinity.

The full nature of his Reality can never be understood by anyone. He

is like a man amongest men; Among women HE is a woman; Among

childeren HE is a child and HE is God when alone. The reason is HE

acts towards each section at their level.

 

As Sri N.Kasturi said somewhere in his book, (author of "Satyam,

Sivam, Sundaram" books) "Each of us has to live the volume of

biography, which we bring with us, as often as we are born, page

after page, Chapter after chapter, howsoever punctuated with dots and

dashes, interrogations and exclamations, comas and colons, until the

sentence ends ultimately with a full stop" But luckily, we have, as

our Master and Guide, Counsul Bhagwan BABA himself, so let us try to

live up to his estimations

 

OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of

Bhagwan Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all,

to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him

 

Jai Sai Ram

Swamy Mahadevan

Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all

Baba Bless you ever!!!
