IS OUR MIND ENOUGH TO MAKE US HAPPY?

IS OUR MIND ENOUGH TO MAKE US HAPPY?

Dear Friends,

Today, I want to talk you about the role of our positive mind to make us happy and also the limitations of it, because our good karmas do play big roles in our happiness in life.

It’s true that our mind do play a big role for making us happy or unhappy, at the same existing situation, like it’s the mind which sees the situation as a glass is half full [optimistic/happy outlook] or half empty [pessimistic/unhappy outlook]. So, a contented mind will be always happy at any given situation while a greedy mind will never be happy even when one has lots more facilities comparatively.

So, a positive mind will look for the best even in the worst situations while a negative mind will worry for the worst future that may not happen, even in the best present situations. So, it’s up to one’s mindset that one can remain happy or unhappy in any given situation!

Having said that the question is whether our mind is enough to make us happy all the time?
The answer is not fully positive because our karmas also play a big role for our happiness or unhappiness in terms of what we think, what we speak & what we do. If we keep on doing bad karmas in terms of negative /harmful thoughts, word & deeds; surely the negative /harmful reactions will come back to us making us unhappy.

In such cases, our mind cannot just make us happy, no matter how much our mind tries to make us happy because if you put your finger in the fire, no matter what your mind thinks it’s OK, it’s not, your finger will be burnt in seconds and you will suffer the consequences of putting your finger in the fire. So, if you don’t want to suffer burning your finger by fire, the best solution is that you don’t put your finger in fire at the first place, because your mind alone can’t help you much in such cases.

Thus our mind and karmas go hand in hand to make us happy or unhappy.

So, if you want to live a happy life watch your mind and your karmas. Make sure that both are positive, productive, optimistic & benevolent.

Happiness for all!
