Happiness Unbounded


Man always wants to be in a state of happiness. He would develop petty desires and aspirations and is elated when they are fulfilled. He gets delighted to see the plant raised by him starts budding. If a child gets through the exam, joy of parents knows no bounds. These are little joys. At play, a kid would talk at length to his dolls. He would store many such articles with love and care which we consider worthless. We laugh at the child's behavior, because we know that the things he stores have no value. In our eyes the boy is innocent and ignorant.

Are we not accumulating wealth in the form of houses, land, plots by selfishly thinking all the while about our family and earnings? Having earned all the assets, are we going to remain here forever? No, never! We are the children of God. He would think of our behaviour as "childish" and laughs at us. So, we must realize that pure bliss is not found in these perishable material objects but in the divine presence which is eternal. That is the ocean of bliss and what flows through it is ambrosia of love. Is not life worthless when we do not strive to partake of the bliss? Baba used to chuckle "My Treasure is stacked with jewels of wisdom but there is none to take it". The essence of human life is to reach God who is the other form of pure bliss. Let us pray to Baba to bless us with deep desire to reach Him.
