“Happiest man is he who is happy under all circumstances”
seek anything beyond meagre necessities of life as Master says. Such a person is the happiest man.
As such there should be no desire for happiness, for desires by their very nature make us unhappy. Absence of desires is real happiness. In the prayer of the path, this factor is most stressed where we concede the point that we are but slaves of wishes and that Master who is beyond all these wishes alone can bring us upto his stage. In his message Love- Universal our beloved Master Babuji Maharaj starts with the problem of changing and changeless states we live in. He states we attach ourselves with the changeable and get into various bondages. He states while explaining the nature of Anandam that mind generally has two trends, the one directed towards the world or diversity and the other directed towards the Ultimate or Unity. He pleads that there must be due adjustment in them and that excessive attention to either is a draw back. He asserts that “That is where an ordinary worldling differs from a true saint who can at will turn the down ward tendencies of the mind upwards.”
