Why are We Unhappy?-2

Why are We Unhappy?-2

You can’t fight with Nature, its scale is too immense. But, unfortunately, in great ignorance, vanity or pride, that’s exactly what most of us are doing. Does it mean we should accept everything lying down? And is it wrong to want something, you may contend? The answer is no. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in trying to shape your life a certain way or to want something from it. But, we must remember that we are responsible for our desires, choices and actions.

Even if you are not happy with your present, the truth is what you are today is what you once wanted to be, who you are today is exactly who you’d once aimed to be, what you have today is what you’d once wished for. Everything you have today is what you’d once asked for. And, most of what you are facing today is the result of manifesting those thoughts. It is easy to forget but it’s the brutal truth. If someone is struggling to pay a mortgage, chances are they own a house they once wished for. Nature gave them a house, but repaying the home loan is their personal obligation. Nature might give them a car because they once wanted it so desperately, but they are responsible for creating the means to pay the insurance. You might have hoped for a beautiful, intelligent and loving partner, but you have to do your bit to have them keep wanting you (a lot of which depends on their own priorities, by the way).

Spirituality is the art of being one with nature so you may draw from its vast reservoir, its limitless resources and become a potent medium to carry it forward. In doing so, you are enabled, empowered and rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. Above all, you are blessed with peace and happiness. So, yes, spirituality is not just a panacea, in fact it’s the only panacea. Because spirituality is transcending your ego, it is going beyond religion and concepts, it is replacing your individual thought with the cosmic consciousness. It is yoga, union, of the highest type.
