Why are you Unhappy and can stop being Unhappy?

A very rich man once wanted to become happy. He had tried all kinds of ways but everything had failed. He went to many saints; nobody could help him. Then somebody suggested: 'You go to Mulla Nasruddin. He lives in a certain town - he is the only man who can be of some help to you.'

What we will attract

WE will always attract to us, in our lives and conditions, according to our thought. Things are but outer manifestations of inner mental concepts. Thought is not only power; it is also the form of all things. The conditions that we attract will correspond exactly to our mental pictures. It is quite necessary, then, that the successful business man should keep his mind on thoughts of happiness, which produce cheerfulness instead of depression; he should radiate joy, and should be filled with faith, hope and expectancy.

Mind is a beautiful instrument, often used unwisely

Mind is a beautiful instrument. It is the cause of all our happiness and cause of all our miseries. We think that we are mind, we are thoughts, but that is not true. Just as we cannot say that we are our bodies, we are also not our mind. Mind is an instrument in our hand.

Happiness lies within

Happiness is one thing that every person wants in his/her life. The ultimate goal of every person’s life is happiness. A person’s every act is out of his desire to be happy. We earn money to be happy, we donate money to be happy, we love to be happy and we sacrifice to be happy.

Our whole life is revolving around this word “Happiness”’ but we really don’t know what this happiness is. When a child is in school, he thinks he will be happy once he grows up, start earning living for himself. When he starts his career, he thinks he will be happy once he is at good post in his job or once he is a successful businessman. When he becomes successful in his career, he thinks he will be happy once his children get settled and so on. So he spends his whole life in search of happiness.

Telepathy: Beyond the five senses

A good number of people in these days will tell of some experience of a psychic nature that has come to them; they speak more freely than they used to do, about these matters.

The importance of these things, as I see it, is not so much in the quantity of such experiences, nor in the number of people to whom they come; but that we should regard it in the right light. These things should urge us to ask ourselves of what nature is this impact upon our world, from the supernormal source? Does it enlarge our knowledge? That is how I regard the matter, and it is in that way that I am trying to examine it.

What to change: Surroundings or The Self

There is a stark difference in western and the eastern way of life. West focuses more on altering the surrounding while east focuses on changing the self. In west people will try to change the way things are functioning whereas in east people will try to adapt to the changing situations.

Western people are materially successful, there people have all sorts of material comforts but still when it comes to internal peace their asian counterparts are more happy. Why is that? The answer can be found in the way the east and the west thinks.

East says that one cannot be happy by changing the surroundings, happiness can only be attained from within, one cannot chase happiness. Peace is not somewhere in future but it is here in the present, it is here right now.  West says that if you are not happy with something then change that 'thing', and East says that you change your outlook.
