otherwise, we are spoiling His world’. Here what I understand is, we are all children of God and God wants His children to be happy in all circumstances. If we are not, we will be spoiling His world. So, how to be Happy in all circumstances and whether it is possible? I feel it is possible and I would like to place before you following with your kind permission.
(1) We should be happy with whatever we have. Always we should have firm will to be happy in all circumstances. Here, I would like to quote Pujya Sir’s comments that is
‘The main question in life is "do we really want to be happy?" Do we will for the same with determination and conviction? I strongly believe the feeling of Santushti or being satisfied with what we have is the first step in becoming happy. This is the secret of happiness. If this is not there any amount of comfort or riches or fame will not give happiness. Real Santushti feeling is a by product of the awareness of transitoriness of things and events in life. There is every reason to look into our images in the mirror every day and feel happy at being what we are. We should note however that our image has been changing and we have always been happy at it. This is possible only when we Will to be happy.
There is no use in wailing over the past and getting distracted. As Master put it we should learn to Live. I only add let us live the life that we really want to live. Then we will be doing exactly what we want to do, living in the joy that we want, and the outcome of our life will be just what you Will- and for me a life in Master. Perhaps that is so with all of us also”.
