HAPPINESS AND SMILE.. WHERE DO THEY TRULY EXIST?


The Great Saint said, 


'A thief escaping in hurry from the house he robbed with his heavy bag of loot on his back chances to come across the lonely Little One of the family, the child just smiles at him seeing his funny Avatar with a total joy in his/her heart; nothing less at all!'

That's just the pure innocence of the child and the little one's happiness and smiling nature accordingly exists at that moment..

Sure as a grown up adult with my established self interest and knowledge, I'd never be able to express my happiness in such instances but that does not mean that I lost my true smile and happiness in life when often I notice myself forcibly doing that..

That's truly possible when I broadly take care of 8 disciplines in my life which go thus..

MY FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ULTIMATE TRUTH IN LIFE:

  • As the robber chased by security men dropped his loot in the lap of a Saint on the way and fled off, the Great Man smiled and said,
"I stole the items!"

MY OWN FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ACTION THEREIN:

  • Lawful attitude forever is the true safety net for me as the dead end of unlawful living is sure the welcome gate to hell!
MY FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ULTIMATE TRUTH IN LIFE:
  • The Great Saint proclaimed that He need not learn and need not work as he had no desires. When asked how he'd survive without work, He smiled and said, 
"Some of you may feed me. If not, I go hungry and in the process if the body perishes, let it go!"

MY OWN FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ACTION THEREIN:
  • A sincere and hard work makes me a wonderful human being without a say and a second thought there in no time brings down that title! 
MY FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ULTIMATE TRUTH IN LIFE:
  • When the Great Saint’s mother asked for spending her last moments by resting on His lap, the Master immediately held her head on his lap as she breathed her last. Subsequently, the Master requested the disciples with a smile,
"Yourself do the rest related activities!"

MY OWN FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ACTION THEREIN:
  • Discharging the family responsibilities to core brings in the true joys of life to me but a neglect here is definitely a life time regret! 
MY FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ULTIMATE TRUTH IN LIFE:
  • The great saint had thrown a handful of gold and a handful of sand into the river waters and proclaimed with a smile,
"Both are equal to me!"

MY OWN FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ACTION THEREIN:
  • Money truly gives a feeling of safety and security and helps me all along the life but a craving for and a wrong use of this one entity surely leaves me with only a single choice between the 'Devil and Deep Sea!' 
MY FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ULTIMATE TRUTH IN LIFE:
  • When the 80 yr old Saint afflicted with terminal disease was offered help by the disciples, the Master smiled and said, 
"As this hand moves, let it alone do the job. When it refuses to move, you can help!"

MY OWN FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ACTION THEREIN:
  • Challenges are definitely the opportunities in front of me to grow and expand and devoid of those challenges invariably is the inevitable rotten routine alone! 
MY FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ULTIMATE TRUTH IN LIFE:
  • Seen as their right with tenants of his houses continue staying in the premises, the Great Man proclaimed,
"From today, they are the owners of these houses!"

MY OWN FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ACTION THEREIN:
  • Charity as part of life makes me a certain sure worth. and devoid of charity, what else can be my plan of leaving the world? 
MY FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ULTIMATE TRUTH IN LIFE:
  • A Great Saint forever living outside in open area used to say with a smile, 
“Earth is the floor, Sky is the roof and Hills around are the walls of my house!”

MY OWN FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ACTION THEREIN:
  • Preservation of nature forever is a healthy way of my living and any attempt to do less there is the waiting chance for disease and disaster! 
MY FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ULTIMATE TRUTH IN LIFE:
  • A Saint once beaten by a rowdy sheeter and lying unconscious when served by a disciple and subsequently asked whether He could recognize the person serving him smiled and said, 
"The hand that hit me is serving me!"

MY OWN FRAME OF REFERENCE OF ACTION THEREIN:
  • A sincere Prayer to God is the sure outlet of many tensions of my life and the conflicts around and no such Prayers; Who else can rescue me from the Eternal 'Fear of Unknown?'

  3. All the examples cited in this article are from people who have realised their self and do not make any distinction between good and bad. They are self realised people. Most of us are at much lower level of evolution. As a result our happiness and smile depends on personal gratification which are outcome in change of brain chemicals. Our goal should be to reach a state when we control our brain chemicals and stay in a state of perpetual happiness not something that is outside.

    1. Thanks Abhijit for the critical comment on the Post.. A little explanation here.. From scientific point of view, happiness is a state of mind where the said chemical balance does exist in the brain but all along there is the entity 'Me' behind that happening. There I, as the controller of that happiness can no more do that whenever a potential danger to existence or continuation of a particular event is sensed. As a limited individual, I'm never free here and ever can exposed to such threats..

      That's why the Great Seers having seen this limitation with ordinary individuals with no immediate solution to be free from there have made them to take up various responsibilities in life where in thru' discharge of those very responsibilities, one sure gets elevated in terms of quality as here the other man is ever in picture.. Such an elevated self in life with me is capable of giving me greater mental strength to face the odds of life and becomes stable quickly so that life in front looks worth living for a cause. Embracing that life fundamentally is my duty equally discharging those responsibilities to the core helps me here a lot.. That is defined in our philosophy as the decent life which is neither bare minimum nor the luxurious one but the middle way of existing.. Kindly refer my next blog post at https://sreedharb.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-ever-cherished-original-gadget-of.html for further explanation on this.. Thanks once again for the interest shown in my blog.. Wishes!
