The Secret of Being Happy-19.




(Spoken on October 19, 1972)

 19.
There is no hope of happiness in this world as long as we connect our happiness with an object of the world because no object can last long and no object can give us pleasure for all times. Today’s satisfying object is tomorrow’s object of detestation. What we like today, we may not like tomorrow. Also, even if we like the same thing for a long time, it may not last long.

Here is the secret of being happy. You can be happy or you need not be happy, as you like. It is in your hands ultimately, and nobody else can make you happy or unhappy. If you are unhappy it is your own making, and if you are happy also it is your own making. So do not complain, grudge and make remarks because all remarks are again quantitative remarks. It is a foolishness of the mind. Any remark that you make, any statement that you utter, is a statement or a remark made in respect of an object outside on which you have hung your faith and which you regard as final, which is far from the truth.
