Happiness Explored

नास्ति  विद्यासमं चक्षुर्नास्ति सत्यसमं तप:।
नास्ति रागसमं दु:खं नास्ति त्यागसमं सुखम्।।
                                           (नारदगीता१/५)
विद्या के समान कोई नेत्र नहीं है. सत्य के समान कोई तप नहीं है,आसक्ति के समान कोई दु:ख नहीं और त्याग के सदृश कोई सुख नहीं है.
We cannot see with our physical eyes that which the eyes of wisdom enable us to see. Hence,there is no such eyes as those of wisdom.
Mere truthful conduct in the day to day activities of ours is the best of austerity that we can practise. No need to go for penance for further purification of the self.
            Similarly, no pain is more severe than that which arises out of attachment. The invisible infliction caused by the pain of yearning & pining is simply unique. It defies all sorts of treatment even by the best of physician or surgeon.
                              And Pleasure!
It is inevitably immediate blissful outcome of detachment from wordly passion for collections of sorts. No sensual pleasure can be even the slightest of a match for this sensuous experience that emanates from the pleasure of sacrifice.
So detachment is the best and most effective weapon for combating all wordly maladies which continue attacking all of us 24*7 from within.
                        Hence; always move ahead with the weapon of detachment in hand.
