24x7 happiness, sounds impractical but to be true, its really possible. Happiness or distress is only a state of mind,
the hands or legs or even other body parts never react or say whether
they are happy or sad. This message comes only from your mind. Because
the mind which is so subtle and unstable, wavering and extremely quick
to be brought under control, it is difficult to conquer it.But mind once
conquered becomes your best buddy. For instance, suppose your
surroundings and circumstances as per gods law and will and truth
reflects that you are in a position completely happy but contrary to
this your mind says that you should be unhappy and distressed.
Automatically your entire body will react being distressed just because
your mind which is like a controlling device of your body released
signals or orders to be unhappy.
This
happens when the individual "self" allows the mind to go free in
any direction even into those lanes where mind has no permission to
enter. Even if your situation seems to be that of being happy and full
of comforts but only because your mind misguided that you are not in a
comfortable position hence you should show symptoms of distress. Now how
to keep a check on this? . Not so difficult. The first step being -
"Every endeavor, results, whatever happens with us in different walks of
life
is already predetermined as per gods wil" .And this reality has to be
firmly and strongly adopted. Everything moving and non moving and its
outcomes are bound to happen but we out of greed have divided the
results or fruits given to us by god
in two groups - a) Happy and b) Sorrow. God never created or divided
his endeavors and results into anything known as "Happiness and Sorrow".
These words are created by greedy and lusty humans.
Now
how these two groups came into existence. As the individual soul took
birth in this material manifestation on this material planet, the soul
got conditioned by materialism which is a product of the three modes of
this material nature.Three modes - Happiness, passion and Ignorance.
Hence we living entities believe in dualities arised from these three
modes and under influence of mode of passion we believe that acts
performed by us are to be performed in mode of passion. It is the duty
of mode of passion to finally give illusionary distress Similarly under
influence of mode of ignorance or mode of happiness we believe we need
to perform our tasks under these modes. And again to say its the duty of
these two modes also to release illusionary pain or happiness.
One
can never be happy all the time (24x7) if he keeps shifting his actions
between good, passionate and evil actions. Obviously doing anything in
influence of these materialistic terms, you can either be happy or sad
during different times and in different walks of life but you can never
be "happy" all the time. Observe properly if you can, that when you
performed good deeds and other times when you did something out of
passion and deep desire or at some other times when you hurt someone out
of anger, greed for your own benefit, sometimes you experienced
happiness and other times anxiety or distress. So the idea is don't
stick to these material feelings - being good or passionate or angry or
greed etc for performance of your actions. Only do it because it ought
to be done as a duty. You will realize you are already in the mode of
happiness, not material happiness but blissful happiness
Transcending
these three modes destroys the two illusionary groups made by us -
Happiness and Sorrow in which we are entangled since time immemorial. Not easy to do but not impossible.
a) Perform your acts as a duty and because anyway the result of your performed actions is only in the hands of God, do not get anxious and stressed and thus don't relate yourself with the end result of your actions. Just how we take a dip in the river and thus experience the cool water on our body and take pleasure out of it, similarly do not take such a dip in the results of your actions because then you will have to experience pleasure or pain.
b) Be fully aware and in knowledge about the three modes of material nature and there results and reactions.
c)
Being fixed in this knowledge as you perform your deeds, you will
become fully aware that till now you were under an illusion that you
were responsible for your deeds and hence took the credit of loss or
gain, but these acts are being performed bu the three modes of nature
and the "self" does nothing at all.
d)
With this knowledge and with practice of applying this in your day to
day life, you shall start performing such acts which will be neither in
the mode of goodness nor in the modes of passion and ignorance. And such
acts have no reactions which are beyond these three modes because
reactions good or evil are only and purely associated with the three
modes which are products of this material nature. Hence you must have
heard often that we say "This life or this material life is full of good
and evil results only and nothing else".
e)
The acts which are beyond the three modes of nature has no karmic
results and hence such performed endeavors will result in something more
superior to even known as "Good results". Such acts result in something
known as "Gods will". Definitely "Gods will" is far superior to "Good
results". Because Good results are of temperorary nature giving you good
but for a short life span where as results as per Gods will have a
permanent effect, and Gods actually final will is to bring us out of
this entanglement of temporary Good and evil results. The way out is to
perform our deeds which are not dependable to be known as Good or evil
but blissful..
f) Be connected with
God for whch there are various paths provided by him like - meditation,
visiting a place of shrine, temples, places of religious importance,
listening to good music, prayers, charity, helping the needy etc.
g) Practice being optimistic.
h)
The knowledge of God and the three modes of nature and the knowledge of
dualities, anxieties, once all this is firmly adopted your body will
slow down its reactions as something good or evil and will be in the
same condition towards both good and evil,because now with practice of
all above you are neither in a state of goodness/happiness nor in a
state of distresses but you are in a state of blissfulness.
i) Physical fitness - Excercising.
J) Brain will get used to, living away from his friend " Stress".
k) If you can sincerely drop all material endeavors which you intend to perform in anxiety, passion, greed, anger, dualities and lust, then you are already on the platform known as "Happiness"
k) If you can sincerely drop all material endeavors which you intend to perform in anxiety, passion, greed, anger, dualities and lust, then you are already on the platform known as "Happiness"
Blissful
is neither good nor evil. It is a state of 24x7 enjoyment, this
enjoyment to which we term as Happiness but whose real term is not
happiness but a state of bliss.
