How to be Happy?
That's the quest every human strives for. The striving can make one miserable or exuberant. Life offers immense possibilities for one to live exuberantly. However, engrossed in the worldly ways, people become miserable.
It takes a lot of effort to shed our acquired nature and find true happiness. The progress appears painstakingly slow, and many give up before any progress is seen.
It is here that I borrow from the great sayings of the sages:
Happiness Is Your Nature
"Man's real nature is happiness. Happiness is inborn in the true self. His search for happiness is an unconscious search for his true self."
Progress Is Possible
"Progress is possible, and there are well-established techniques for achieving the happy, exuberant stage."
Can you achieve this while living in the world?
"Yes — such a person keeps his hands in society, while keeping his head cool in solitude."
