Spread Happiness

You enjoy the beauty of various flowers in the garden, but when you pluck them and use, the charm lasts for only a couple of hours. The flowers wither and you discard them. All our worldly activities are also like this.

At every stage in your life, you want something. Once it is obtained, you lose interest in that. The ties of this world that lead to our activities, land us feeling exhausted and depleted of our energy and not finding the Bliss we were seeking. As long as we are engrossed in our chase for something, there is a hunter’s thrill. It loses its lure the moment we get what we wanted.

So everything is subjected to limitation. ‘I want joy’ culminates in ripening of the self into the Bliss that you are, when you become an embodiment of Joy. You must become happiness personified, from top to toe. You must be able to spread cheer and happiness wherever you are, just as a flower garden spreads its fragrance all around.

Be carefree. Do as much good as possible, talk good, think good. There is nothing else to do. You must be as unaffected by life as a dead body.
