Rishiji's Key to An Unshakeable Smile

Key to Happiness

We base our happiness on factors which are outside our control. Life is ever changing and full of opposites. Basing our state of mind on such factors outside our control leads to depression, frustration and unhappiness.

For e.g.
If we are happy because of good health then we are sure to lose our happiness as and when our health deteriorates.

If we feel secure because we have money then its opposite is also not far away.

If we are in high spirits being in love then whenever we are alone again due to death or separation from partner and without any assurance that the partner will ever come back, we are bound to be depressed.

If we are contented because of our progeny, then losing our progeny to death or separation due to some other cause will lead to utter discontentment.

If we are happy due to fame and power then their lack will also cause total unhappiness.

All these factors are outside our control and hence basing our mental state on any one of these is dangerous and is bound to end in unhappiness. The only happiness which is stable and free from external influences is the one which is what we feel when we do Sudarshan Kriya, which is without any reason.

The happiness based on the 9 factors- pleasures based on 5 senses, fame, love, progeny and money is short lived and leads to pain whenever one of these factors is missing from our lives.
