Feel the joy of bringing happiness to others

You can feel the vibration of those who are happy. They are so sensitive. They can catch you. Kids exuberate happiness.

They radiate joy. If you ask me, I will tell you that there are those who are happy and they want to share happiness. The nature of happiness is to share. Nobody says, “I am happy, so leave me alone.” When you are happy you want to share the mood. If you see a nice movie you pick up the phone and call your friend.

This is the first category. There is another category of people who are seeking happiness. They seek it by changing jobs, places, cars, gadgets, etc. There is a third category, with no hope of happiness.

For them happiness does not even exist. And if they see someone happy, they feel more irritated.

Happiness is not something which has left anyone untouched. We all know what happiness is. It is vast, bigger, and great. You know feelings can never be captured in words. Happiness cannot be conveyed in words or in gestures. Our being is much, much, much, larger than our expressions.

Happiness is very fragile. Now you are happy. Just one nasty phone call, and your happiness is gone. What is that that can make our happiness stronger? I call that wisdom. Wisdom brings a different context to our lives. It expands our context. Anyone who is not happy, you make them see life from a different context and you can bring a smile back to their face. As the context of life expands the problems and issues appear smaller and insignificant. Expand the context of life. If someone doesn’t get this, take them to the planetarium.

When they see the light and how insignificant the little earth is in the context of bigger universe, the multiverse, something happens.

Second is commitment. If you are committed to do something, you do it, despite obstacles that come in the way. Unpleasant remarks may come from people, but nothing detracts you. That is commitment. The third thing is compassion. We are more

disturbed by others behaviour towards us. That is why we feel our happiness depends on many other factors. Someone who is stressed – is unhappy, spreads unhappiness.

Instead of succumbing to someone else spreading unhappiness, say to yourself ,“I can be in control of myself.

I can spread happiness. I can be the source of happiness when I have compassion for others.” To summarise, broaden your

vision and then have a purpose in life. To me the most meaningful thing is bringing happiness in the lives of people, instead of running after happiness. Second is commitment.

And the third is compassion.

It’s compassion which keeps us in a state of unconditional love, unconditional happiness.
