I often think whether happiness exists in materiality (also in spirituality, in immateriality). The question inspires awe and intrigue as all of us are pursing it unremittingly. The very pursuit of it engages us and life ends with the pursuit. You want to be a something, and in that endeavor to be the something you become dedicatedly immersed in strain and strife without taking a breath of respite, and this goes on persistently and to end with, we will die.
I thought I will be after being promoted into a higher rank. There were two things to count on: First increase in remuneration, Secondly stepping up in a bigger portfolio with additional power. Unquestionably I had moments of joys and jubilation and of course followed by a series of celebration for a few days. But with more accountability I became more engaged and immersed with works taking on newer challenges.
The law of nature is really wittily different than what we conjecture in point of fact. I got paid better salaries and perks, and incentivized more, but somewhere someone has to bear the loss, and of course it is my family: my spouse and children who had to pay the price for it. Disharmonies prevailed over the family and as I could not sattend them, nor had I time for outing.
You can discern as to wherein happiness lies, in pursuit of a better job, better remuneration and corporate accolades or in entrenching a better family. But both can not go perfectly well. The substance I accentuate is nowhere happiness is rooted. It is in your mind, or in the imaginative faculty.
In expanding your empire of commerce, geography, society, recognition, you think you are in pursuit of happiness, but you are wrong. You are not at fault on this count, for your societies wronged you and you pay the price for it. And out of frustration you pursue a Guru, a spiritual healer and who sells unattainable dreams. In a dreamscape you are drugged and the effect of no drugs can last without end. And you will have a great fall like Lucifer from paradise back into an abyss of reality.
The findings I am putting across are not with a motive to teach or to put forth my vainglory or self approbation. I am communicating simply out of my reflections on life. I observe things and in so doing I try to distance myself a little away from rationalizations or influence on me.
I make thus an inference, not a logical or philosophical deduction, nor a spiritual revelation. Let man live the way he wants, and do not direct him the way you think right. Everyone is a different universe and let him radiate his cosmos with his or her own light.
Do not follow a particular definition or delusion, for those who claim to have seen light is shadowing or outshining you. All I want to get across is no tracked course gets you there wherein you presumably see light, thus, happiness, peace or Nirvana. For you are a light on to yourself, a self illuminating star.
