THE VERY MUCH SOUGHT 'HAPPINESS' IN LIFE!

• When the king offered the men of his Palace to sleep in his own Palace for a night out of a great reverence for the work they were doing, they could not do so as there they missed their usual noisy surroundings, proximity of many people, the regular hard beds etc and were restless for a while. Soon they left all that comfort provided, together went to a corner and finally slept there on the hard floor happily.. 

Thus confirming the very much sought certain happiness existing with mankind at Tamasik Level!

• When God bestowed the routine of 8 hrs of body and personal care, 8 hrs of family take care and 8 hrs of regular work on the man, the man was not happy, wanted more, accordingly started running round everywhere and then alone was happy and relaxed at the end of the day.. 

Thus confirming the equally sought certain happiness existing with mankind at Rajasic Level!

• When 3 sculptors were once asked what they were doing, one said, 'I'm chipping!', the other said, 'I'm carving an angel out of the stone!' and the third Great Sculptor said, 'Don't you see the angel imprisoned in the stone? I'm just freeing her!' 

Thus confirming the finally sought certain happiness existing with mankind at Satvic Level too! And beyond all, we equally have stories like..

• When the parent of the Famous Devotee was sleeping resting his head on the lap of his son and right at that moment as the Devotee started praying to God, God appeared in front of Him and granted Him the instant Total Liberation asking Him to join with the Ultimate. The Humble Devotee smiled and said, 'Right now, I cannot leave my body and come to you disturbing my parent's sleep. I can do that only when he wakes up all by himself!' 

Thus indirectly confirming the ultimate sought happiness existing with mankind beyond these 3 Levels again!

• Having said so, the happiness with us is ever seen as a mixture of the first 3 Levels mentioned above in this mudane life and is constantly tending to rise to the Ultimate Level as said in the 4th example called the 'ETERNAL BLISS' where in the SEEKER, the SOUGHT and the act of SEEKING truly merge and become ONE!
