What would be your best memory of happiness?

Q: Should I quit the membership of the church? (I belong to a Catholic Church).

Guruji: That is your choice you can continue to be a member or if you do not feel like it, you can quit. It is your own choice. The issue is not whether you are a member or not.

Q: What would be your best memory of happiness?

Guruji: Happiness is when you want nothing, and you want to give. Where the wanting and desires end, and the sharing begin, happiness is exactly there. Memory is not happiness. When you are happy, you forget everything. It is when happiness is gone that you dwell in its memory. In the world, people are either dreaming of happiness or remembering happiness. That is either being in the past or the future. But happiness is that which is in the present. And it is your very nature.

If you manipulate words it is a lie, if you play on words it is a joke, if you rely on words it is ignorance, if you transcend words it is Wisdom.

SOMETIMES IN LIFE

The greatest tests are the ones we view as stupid;
We forget to tell those who are important to us just how much we care,
We forget that every cloud has a silver lining,
We view our problems as though they can never be solved,
We forget that there is always a tomorrow,
We hold on to the past like it can help us through today,
We see challenges as a trial, forgetting that trials are what give us character,
We forget to smile, laugh be happy,
Life is a wonderful gift, how we accept things in life depends on how we see ourselves,
Life is wonderful; we meet wonderful people, have great friendships,
share wonderful secrets moments get to be loved, to love,

Om Namah Shivay
