Happiness
Everybody wants happiness, not just the souls in human bodies BUT also the living beings in the bodies of cats, dogs and so forth.
Why is happiness so important to us?
It is because 'we' or 'I' am by nature a spiritual being ... eternal, full of bliss (extreme happiness) and knowledge.
We, are more than a physical body, or a subtle body ... WE are ... as described in the ancient Vedic texts and as stated above 'eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss.'
What conclusion can we draw from this? What does this mean?
If we refer to the ancient writings we find that 'WE' are not a physical body, BUT we inhabit a physical body ... temporarily. 'WE' are NOT matter, but because we inhabit a physical body we mistakenly think that 'I' am matter, 'I' am this 'Body.'
Lacking in knowledge we go through life seeking happiness via the senses, trying to unite with material sense objects. Our vision is clouded by the influence of the material energy. In this condition we mistakenly think that union with matter, (in one form or another) will bring about the happiness we so earnestly crave. We want happiness, happiness is vitally important to us ... just as breath is to life.
Now here's the thing, we are spirit in essence. It is actually impossible for spirit and matter to combine, they are two different energies ... it's like trying to mix oil and water together, it can't be done.
Yes ... there is some happiness here, but it is fleeting, there is love here, but it is fleeting. Even if everything, our environment, or our family were perfect and perfectly loving THIS would still not be enough for us, our hearts ... the 'soul.' WE ... need more.
Each individual, spiritual person needs more than anything this world has to offer. We need to be connected in love to the most beautiful, most loving Supreme Spirit Soul. This is the only way that the soul ... (spirit spark), will find the extreme happiness we need - the peace, comfort, shelter, satisfaction, love and bliss that we are always searching for.
When a person consistently applies the teachings of the Yoga philosophy in their life, they come to experience that the more their dormant relationship with the supreme friend awakens, one benefit of this is that good qualities increase, they develop more patience, more tolerance, more love and more care for others. They can still have their loving family relationships, still love and care for their relatives and friends, but now ... even more than before. They acknowledge and respect the eternal person sitting in and 'using' that physical body. This respect and care also reaches beyond the human race to include ALL sentient beings, all life forms cows, dolphins, whales, cats, dogs etc,. etc,.
Such are the prolific fruits of a GOOD tree, the profound influence of the sacred teachings of the Vedas. These transcendental gifts are shared freely, passed to humanity by the wonderful messengers of the Supreme Soul. Being full of compassion they work tirelessly to pass on these sacred words to help all souls who maybe want to change ... make that change. They are our shining beacons of light.
