ARE YOU HAPPY?

Contrary to the general belief happiness, just like Love is not be found in any outward thing or happening. Neither can any other person render you happy. However things, situations or people met with in the outside world might make you belief that you are happy but sure enough you will know from experience that this kind of happiness usually won't last. True happiness can neither be lost, nor taken away from you, nor given to you. It is already part of what you are. Pure blissful happiness in the shape of Divine consciousness lives at your very core and literally arises out of no-thing. It simply Is, condition-less and timeless. It is lying there waiting for you to be discovered. In order to realize this you have to let go of the belief that it is to be found outside of you and instead turn inwards and search for it within your own heart. You have to rise above your Ego because Ego-Happiness is temporary, True Happiness Eternal. Ego-Happiness can be lost, True Happiness, once discovered, never leaves you. The first is making you dependent upon others and in the long run leaves you unfulfilled, the latter renders you self-sufficient and free, endowing you with a sense of completeness and wealth.
And if you look beyond the wish to be made happy, there is the desire wanting to be loved.
The sensation of happiness makes you believe that you are being loved, which is why hunting for happiness really is just another expression of the hunger for love. So whether it is love or happiness you are trying to find in the external world, they both arise form the same need in you and both of them you already got. And they will only be found once you stop moving away from them by your outward search.
In the reality of the Heart there exists only love and happiness, in Ego-reality the opposites are experienced, too. Unhappiness arises from the idea that you are not being loved (enough) and the belief that you are not being loved renders you unhappy. Therefore should you be feeling unhappy or unloved, do not look for the culprit in the world but rather ask yourself why you are denying yourself the love you need in order to feel happy?
