HAPPINESS IS THE HIGHEST GOOD FOR ALL!
HAPPINESS IS THE HIGHEST
GOOD FOR ALL!
Dear Friends!
Happiness Is The Highest Good
Because our true original nature of the soul, that we truly are;
is always to be happy, but due to our misuse of God-given free will, we
sometimes & often undergo unwanted sufferings in life like temporary clouds
covering the ever sunshine thus imposing misery upon our eternal happy nature
of the soul; however sooner or later we come back to our happy natural
condition. Like the truth of the sun shining above the clouds all the time; so is
our true highest good of happiness always remaining happy above all our
cloud-like circumstantial troubles in life! All kinds of so called
problems/troubles/sufferings of life, if taken with positive attitude, are in
fact our teachers or healers to teach/lead us toward our better & happier
future life. So, yes, happiness is possible in all situations and we should
live happy always and that is our true life in the highest good.
Happiness Depends On Our Karma
Happiness is the byproduct of our Karma, past & present.
Before the misuse of our free will, our original nature was ever happiness, but
once we created our own bad karma due to our free will, we started reaping the
results of our karma in terms of sufferings in degraded births as human beings
or worst in the births of animals, birds, fishes, insects and even as trees
& plants L At least being born as
a human being means we are having the golden opportunity of regaining our lost
heavenly life in this very life itself. To regain our heavenly life we gotta
regain our Godly / spiritual qualities like LOVE, PURITY, CLEANLINESS, DUTY,
SINCERITY, EMPATHY, NON-INJURY, EQUITY, UNITY, PHILANTHROPHY, JUSTICE,
HAPPINESS etc.
Happiness Is Not In The Mind Alone
You might have heard some people claiming that happiness is just
in our mind to make ourselves happy or unhappy but the truth is that our mind,
though can be helpful to maintain our happiness to some extent, is not the sole
origin of our happiness; but our karma is. Our circumstances and economic
situations do contribute to our level of happiness and our karma good or bad
create our own such circumstances or economic situations for good or bad, wherein
we are today eventually. When we sit near the fire-place we feel warm for sure
no matter what your mind might think like you are in the snows or drenched in the
rain outside; that means our imaginative mind cannot fully change our realities
of karma. However our positive mind, when translated into positive actions, can
change our destiny toward the positive & progressive direction and the same
is true for our bad karma giving us negative & degraded destiny as well
thus determining our happy or unhappy life.
True Happiness Is The Happiness For All
We are all created by the same Creator whom we call God. Being
originated from the same source of God, we do inherit the original Godly
qualities but due to our bad karmas we became different beings with less &
less Godly qualities and more & more of negative qualities. However, in
essence at the soul level, all living beings are still the same; all connected
to God spiritually and so we are all parts of the whole creation and so in one
sense we are all one body and so our true overall happiness happens when all
beings that constitute the whole body are all happy and so when we talk about
our own true happiness we gotta include the happiness of all beings around us;
that means we gotta do karma that makes us happy as well as all others. When we
do karma for the happiness of all, we do get our true happiness.
Happiness Brings Success
Many people assumedly think that success brings them happiness
and their concept of success is in most cases, wrongly defined just on the
material terms only like earning lots of money, having big business, big house,
big car, big property etc and thus in their pursuit for success they started
using hook & crook methods just to achieve their material goals of success
and ignoring the inner voice of the soul to preserve their inherited Godly
qualities and thus after achieving their material goals they end up in a miserable
meaningless life, never enjoying true happiness and at the end when they die
they can’t take any of their hard earned material things with them and thus die
a poor person! On the other hand if you do things that make you happy means you
are living your true purposeful life and when you are happy doing things means
you are enhancing your Godly qualities and thus you enjoy life on the way and
also arrive the happy goal of life. To a happy worker, money & material things
come without too much efforts and you are contented and live a happy life
throughout and when you die you are peaceful & happy as you earned more
eternal spiritual assets of Godly qualities that shall go with you when you die
other than the temporary material assets that you can’t carry and thus die a
rich person!
Think! What kind of lifestyle is better? However if you are
truly spiritual and super-rich as well, that is still better J
Happiness Brings Peace & Prosperity
If you check the top happy countries of the world, you will find
that crime rates in those countries are relatively lower as well. In fact, all
kinds of problems & crimes in the family, society are originated from the
unhappy people. Happy & contented people will neither commit crimes nor
indulge in any anti-social activities; only unhappy people do. So, to reduce
crime and bring peace, we gotta look into this happiness factor, how to make
people happy, I mean true happiness and yes true happiness is mostly long term
happiness. Since people cannot be happy primarily without their basic needs of
food, cloth & shelter; we gotta make sure that nobody is deprived of these three
primary needs and secondly people need healthcare, education & means to
earn money and so we gotta find out ways to fulfill these three secondary needs
as well. At the first place, before bringing children to this world, parents
should be ready to provide all these primary & secondary needs of their
children and if they are not ready for them then they should not give birth to
children who end up as beggars or anti-socials thus disturbing the society. We
gotta educate people about the advantages of single or small family life to
check unwanted overpopulation; we gotta educate people about the worthless life
in slums and meaningless life of the beggars; we gotta create ‘dignity of
labor’ mindset and dutiful work culture & happy self-reliant lifestyle
among people. These programs can be worked out through government support,
support from philanthropists, through non-governmental organizations and
general education. This way, by providing the primary & secondary needs of
the people and responsible parents only producing children who are taken care
of properly; we can assure peace, prosperity & happiness among people everywhere.
Happiness For All & No War
There is no place for war in the happy world. Firstly, of course,
wars are the reaction of bad karmas of the people in terms of flesh food habits
and other violent bad habits indulged by the people individually &
collectively. Secondly, wars happen due to the conflict of the false egos of
the people in terms of identifying themselves in narrow boundaries like race,
religion, country, political ideology, caste, creed, color, culture, region
etc. Division among people is due to the spiritual ignorance of our reality
that we all originated from One Source and we all belong to One Creator and
that we all are parts of One Whole universal body. So, unity among people
through spiritual understanding is a must to stop all kinds of war knowing that
harming/killing others is nothing but harming/killing ourselves that we are all
one body. So, unity of the people is important to stop all kinds of war and to
bring unity among people we gotta create one world country, one world
government, one world citizenship, one world currency, one world religion, one
world language for all. When we all belong to one world country there will be
no false ego of individual nationality to fight war for and when we all belong
to one religion there will be no religious conflicts and when we all use one
currency economic disparity among people will reduce and when we all speak one
language we all can come closer together and this way we can have true
universal love & brotherhood & sisterhood among the people and live
happily together. Wars are all waste & no gain for all and so let us live
in happiness with no war ever and use all the resources so long wasted for war
into the development works for the humanity as a whole.
Happiness For All & No Corruption
Corruption at the gross sense is nothing but misuse of public
fund by some criminals for their private gain and thus depriving public of many
important projects and development works to be done in the proper way that
should have helped people live the happier life. Corruption in another sense is
injustice done to the people because through bribery incompetent/substandard
people/things are put in use for public posts/utilities thus harming/degrading
the whole nation. Where corruption prevails, there the overall quality of the
people will go down thus degrading the whole society as people will try to
accumulate money/wealth by hook or crook and the honest & hard-working
people will be discouraged. Corruption can be stopped or reduced to the minimum
if leaders of the society are sincere, strict & disciplined and made
themselves ideal guides & role models of the people to follow. When
corruptions are stopped, all will be benefitted: the bribe givers [save money],
the bribe takers [grow spiritual quality], the public [get due facilities] and
when these happen, all will be happy in the society. So, let us support only
the leaders who are against corruption and have benevolent mind for the
progress, prosperity and happiness of all.
Happiness For All & No Prejudice, Hatred
One big blockade for keeping people away from happiness in social
interactions is prejudice and origin of violent conflicts among people is hatred.
So, if we want happiness among people, we gotta remove these two detrimental
factors affecting love & harmony among people. Without true love &
harmony, people cannot live happily together. Prejudice & hatred are mostly
based on different physical looks and different cultures of the people and both
are of secondary importance if we look into the universal common spiritual
qualities of the people and the similar human aspects of the people in life and
the oneness of all at the soul level. Let us appreciate the variety and enjoy
the multiplicity that enhances our joys of life instead of living a boring life
with the same type of face & physical features for all humanity? Instead of
prejudicing against the fellow human beings let us look into their positive
points and welcome them. Hating anyone harms more to the hater than to the
hated and so in our best self interest & happy life, we should never hate
anyone. Let us be in love & harmony and without any prejudice & hatred and
live in happiness everywhere.
Happiness for all!
