Learn to be happy in any and all circumstances, whether you're experiencing pleasure or pain, whether there's loss or gain, whether the world loves you or hates you. Learn to be happy.
Happiness comes from self-knowledge. Self-knowledge means that you have understood your mind. Your mind is the whole universe.
Just to exist, just to be, to take a breath, to feel that, whether its pleasure or pain, loss or gain, just your experience in life is unique to you. No one sees life like you do.
Let us say your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend makes you happy. If they leave, you're bound to be unhappy. You are the slave of the thing that makes you happy. You are a junkie and human relationships can be expensive habits.
What we focus on we become. If you are just focusing on unhappy things, you will become unhappy. If you focus on happy states of mind, then it will grow in you.
The purpose of life is happiness. What else could it possibly be?
Life is a game in which happiness is the goal.
Most people have no idea how unhappy they are because they don't know what happiness is. When they get a little break from their total pain, they feel a little better and they call it happiness.
Even sickness becomes an experience that we pass through in happiness because our happiness is not dependent upon how our body feels, but how our spirit feels.
Life should be continually brighter. We are continually seeking our own innocence. We want to recapture it for eternity. It's in there, but we lose touch with it.
Nobody can make you happy but yourself. Things occupy us, people occupy us, but they don't make us happy. If we are honest, what makes us happy is to experience spirit.
There is always going to be pain. There is always going to be pleasure. But what is not always going to be there is balance, happiness. That is a personal decision.
Love is self-realization. Love is liberation. The only way beyond time, to unravel the knot of existence, is to love.
You are complete. Completion has taken place in you eons ago. Accept yourself. Enjoy yourself. This time will never be again, so fulfill the moment with your own self-joy.
Ecstasy should not be viewed as an unusual experience, but rather a natural experience - feeling all of the living matrix of existence around us.
The pathway to enlightenment is happiness. It doesn't really matter if you're successful, if you're in prison, if you're dying - if you have contact with light.
Happiness is the most elusive thing for human beings to find.
We are miracles. So don't deny yourself the miracle of happiness.
Life is not a malfunction. It's beautiful. But if you do not see it that way, it's simply because your room needs cleaning.
Happiness has to do with how quickly you vibrate. Meditation is a process of speeding up the vibration.
People don't really want to be happy. They go out of their way to be miserable.
How can you be happy in a world like this? You have got to be crazy to even attempt something like that.
Happiness is warm puppy. In other words, happiness is the things around you. Just to see that puppy is to be happy. You don't have to do anything; you don't have to add anything.
Maybe if you stopped asking "why" all the time, you might be happy. Leave it alone, you know? Life is happy.
Happiness comes from living in the moment, this moment, now, right here. If you are in obscure states of mind, you won't see what this moment is. You won't realize its beauty.
