KEY TO HAPPINESS
To be happy, you must (1) awake, (2) aspire and (3) achieve.
Awake:- Happiness is not bhoga, sense-enjoyment.
Who, wandering in pursuit of pleasures, was ever happy?
This night-wandering, this sleep of the senses, must go.
Hence the ancient teaching:- "Uttishtha! Jagrata!" "Stand up!
Awake!"
Aspire:- Many are unhappy, for they have clipped their wings.
Ambition, power, ease and enjoyment hold men down.
Happiness is in the realm which transcends enjoyment.
Aspire! And, believe me, every aspiration becomes an achievement
some day.
Achieve:- Happiness is not a passive experience.
And happiness is not merely a quest.
Happiness is a conquest.
And none may achieve it without meeting the challenge of sorrow and
suffering.
They discipline, they purify, they strengthen us.
They teach us sympathy and love.
And without love none may be truly happy.
OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI!!!
Let us pray at the feet of Sai Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him.
