I just Want to be Happy! What about You?

We all want to be happy in one way or another. We want to spend more time with friends and family or go on a long-dreamed of vacation. How about that new car or house? And it certainly would make us happy to sell another piece of art… and, and, and, endless is the list of what makes us happy – or so we think. We go after all kinds of outer world things and imagine acquiring more, better, bigger things will finally give us this feeling of unending happiness, of blissful living.

Media even tells us that the fulfillment of these desires will make us happy. Have you ever thought about it? Desires are literally unending! How is it possible to fulfill them all?

How to Come to a State of Unending Happiness or Bliss?

Is it even possible? Great rishis/seers and sages of India tell us, yes, it is possible! Then how to get there, what is the path? Meditation is the path, meditation is for you. There is actually a science and art behind meditation. Let’s say in normal state of consciousness you experience 100 thoughts per second (TPS). When you are in meditation your TPS can drop to a much lower number like 80 or 60, or even all the way down to zero. When the TPS goes down in meditation bliss happens. At first it is only for short periods of time once in a while but then it happens more often. Many times a day and then eventually… well, you may want to find out for yourself.

Unending Happiness, Blissful Living Happens

Sounds too simple you may think. Well, there is only one way to find out: try meditation for yourself. There are umpteen numbers of meditation techniques available. The best ones are the ones you directly receive from an enlightened master/guru himself. An enlightened being, once you connect with him or her, will help your inner being in so many ways to reach the state of zero TPS, the state of pure consciousness, enlightenment because that is his only aim. And he assures us through his own body language that the bliss is there forever…

So you want to be happy, blissful? Then, when are you going to start meditation?
