Happiness is a state of mind.
Love, pleasure, satisfaction and contentment are its manifestations.
This state of contentment is depicted by detachment or freedom from materialistic world.
All religions claim to be the flagship of happiness and contentment.
Many persons have been able to reap the benefits through faith and patience.
Spiritual route has also been found to be helpful.
We, the Homo Sapiens have a tendency of not looking at the most obvious and the most natural.
Nature has divided its material property into four categories.
The first and the most ancient is the stone.
Stones or material bodies are the most abundant of all that exists.
They are the most contented and happiest of the lot.
They do not react.
They ever remain calm and quiet.
The second in the category is the flora.
Most of the time, they are happy and satisfied.
We can watch their happiness in their colorful leaves, fragrant flowers and juicy fruits.
They always give and seldom take back.
They are contented with what nature provides to them.
The third is the animal category sans the human being.
They eat when they are hungry.
They hunt when it is necessary.
Animals do not keep prisoners.
Most interestingly they know their limit in respect of domain, stamina and potential.
They are also happy most of the time and have a good sleep.
These categories which comprise 99.
9% of the earth matter have life of happiness and contentment.
We too, have a happy and contended life.
Watch your activity from morning till late at night when you go to sleep.
A good sleep is the final word on contentment.
Nature has drawn the shortest and straightest path for the human being too.
But we have been plagued by our persistent fond mistakes.
One is that of opening up the forbidden Pandora box.
Almost 95% of life is lived in happiness and contentment.
Only remaining 5% deviation makes life miserable.
Most importantly, only 5-10% of us have a disturbed life altogether due to forced reasons such as disease or disability.
We find that the poorest of the poor have happier moments.
We should learn to be passive like stones to such state of affairs on which we have no control.
On the contrary, we should learn to enjoy unpleasant happenings around us.
We have innumerable examples like that of prisoners who while serving long terms in solitude have devoted their time in learning and writing excellent books.
Similarly, we should follow the trees and the plants.
We have been in the habit of taking.
Savor the happiness derived from giving a few minutes of your time in helping a blind to cross a busy road.
You can be assured of getting immense satisfaction and happiness from this small gesture of yours.
We have many things to learn from animals too.
They never prey when they are not hungry.
We should try to accumulate property which is sufficient to sustain us for the rest of our lives but if our fortune and profession is giving us more than what we need for ourselves and our families then let this do not make our lives miserable.
We may share and donate the excess for a good cause.
We are the best product of the nature.
To be a human being is a blessing.
Our fundamental religion is to be humane, just like that of iron is to be strong.
For us to be humane is the easiest and shortest path that the nature has drawn for us.
Is there anything else that can give more happiness and contentment? Let there be darkness for some time as that only will intensify the glory of light.
