We do not feel tired when we are
engaged in an action that is close to our heart. We feel the burden when we act
against our wish. Attitude towards action determines the pain or pleasure.
We feel tired when we listen to
complaints but get energized when we listen to compliments. We feel happy when
we are in deep sleep. All that we know when we are in deep sleep is that we
know nothing because we are beyond time and space. Ignorance and happiness
co-exists during deep sleep. A child is a personification of ignorance,
innocence and happiness. As we grow old we lose these noble qualities.
We have the free will to be happy
but we choose to be unhappy. The key to happiness and unhappiness is with us. Some
are always happy and some are never happy. The cause for our happiness and
unhappiness is our ignorance. We feel that happiness lie in things and people. Happiness
is our true nature. We develop the art of being unhappy as we grow old since we
move away from that nature.
Seeking happiness outside is the
surest source of finding unhappiness. We always curse others for our unhappiness
but never thank others for our happiness. We seldom count our blessings but
often count our problems.
Cursing the darkness will never brighten the place. If
everyone lights a lamp in front of his house, the whole world will be bright. Darkness
and light are part and parcel of nature. We have to accept darkness and light a
candle to dispel darkness instead of cursing.
