I was hearing Prem Rawat's speech about happiness the other day. Though I could not see the full programme in TV, I heard him asking something similar to this question. Then, I realized yes that is very true. Most of the times we feel happiness because of someone or something. I would like to share this thought with you friends as well.
For some reason, our need is always tied up with happiness. Whenever our needs are met, we feel happy. If not, sad. Can happiness be realized beyond the needs? Even in the final stage of spirituality, Saints/Rishis look forward to attaining moksa or God through death or meditation or some sort of self-disciplinary activities. Even in this case, they need something to achieve which make them feel happy. They do expect something from someone. But that something is non-objective and someone is divine. That's the only difference.
It seems to me that dependency is always the factor for happiness at all levels of our existence. But, what if that someone or something is weak?? Does not it affect us eventually? I think so. I think we need to be prepared for anything and try to take things as it goes. I know it is always easy to preach these things. But atleast by sharing with you guys, I may realize the reality when I go through hard times :) After all, it is part of our life. We need to keep going on....
