Happiness is not dependent upon outer circumstance. Happiness is falling in love with everything around you, everything inside of you.
Happiness does not come from external things as we’re really taught as children. It doesn’t come from Santa Claus. Happiness is from within your mind. Just realizing that will change your whole life.
Let us say your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend makes you happy. If they leave, you’re bound to be unhappy. You are the slave of the thing that makes you happy. You are a junkie and human relationships can be expensive habits.
Happiness is something that you can definitely achieve. At first, it will just come for a moment or two. Then it will come for longer periods of time. Eventually you will be happy all of the time.
Happiness is a state of mind. The key to happiness is being able to disconnect your life from your perceptions. If you saw things as they really were, you would be happy automatically.
Real happiness is something most people never know. What we experience in deep meditation, that ecstasy is beyond what human beings call happiness.
The pathway to enlightenment is happiness. It doesn’t really matter if you’re successful, if you’re in prison, if you’re dying – if you have contact with light.
Love is the only rule in self-discovery. If you’ve forgotten that rule, you’ve forgotten everything. It’s not what you can get; it’s what you can give.
There is no reason not to love. There is no reason not to be joyous. There is no reason not to celebrate because all of this means nothing, absolutely nothing. So why not be happy?
Love is the only antidote for the insanity of this world. And the funny thing about love is that when someone loves you, it doesn’t necessarily make you feel better; but when you love someone else, it does.
Love is light in the inner worlds; it is energy, a luminescent energy that is the basis of all creation. Love is the only thing in this world that is worthwhile because it is the only thing in this world that is eternal.
Love is self-realization. Love is liberation. The only way beyond time, to unravel the knot of existence, is to love.
Let the rain of unhappy and tragic experiences fall, as sometimes it inevitably must, even in the lives of the enlightened masters. If your mind has become one with nirvana, you will remain happy at all times.
Happiness is only gained when your mind is in extended states of attention, when your mind is merging with the infinite.
Stop being jealous, I mean, to be jealous is to suggest that God doesn’t know what she is doing. This is ridiculous! She does everything perfectly.
Forgiveness is the best revenge.
Happiness is not dependent on experience. What you experience shouldn’t make you happy or unhappy when you know how to be happy.
Happiness is not the same as pleasure. Pleasure is an immediate experience, very transient in nature, that’s enjoyable, and if we experience a great deal of it – there’s a sense of satiation.
Sometimes it is hard to see in life. If the fog rolls in we can’t see anything. Most people get caught up in life that they forget the purpose of life is to be happy.
Unhappiness is really an incorrect way of seeing. When we are unhappy we don’t see life as it really is. We are in a condition of veiled light, of shadows.
