How can one attain state of happiness?

Happiness can be attained by training the mind and doing continuous practice for getting the attainment of the happiness. Initially practicing happiness will seem difficult but later on this will become matter of habit. Glimpse of sadness may visit you occasionally but that will subside soon and you will enjoy the eternal happiness that is bliss.

Here it is worth mentioning that , sadness/grief doesn’t devour the happiness in toto and happiness doesn’t substitute the sadness fully. Person feels both simultaneously. Just take an example a student is ill having fever and high body ache and he gets a news that he stood first in examination for he had put his heart and soul few months back. Will he feel happiness? Yes off course, he will. He will feel happiness with in flood of griefs. This is fact that one can feel sadness with in happiness and happiness with in sadness.

The quantity of sorrow and happiness decides actually, which one will be dominant and which one will be recessive. Again this is a subjective term as the act which will make one sad may not act similarly on another person, similarly the act which one will make someone happy may not act similarly on another parson. This depends upon the inner core of person how he perceives towards external stimuli.

Happiness attracts happiness. When you are happy happiness of whole world will come to you. When you are sad, sadness of whole world will visit you. This is why it is said that problem does not come alone (Dukh akale nahin atai). Take a brief example if your mind is calm, content you are happy, then you simply ignore small bad thing occurring to you, this will not raise your blood pressure as it does not make any significant effect upon you. If you are unhappy, you take note of every small negative thing occurring to you which makes you tired, frustrated and finally unhappier.

Hence there is no specific way to attain the happiness or there is no way which goes upto the home of happiness. You can attain happiness without any movement just by training the mind to receive the every thing happening to you happily, being the will of nature. The same thing is quoted in Gita as “Sukhe dukhe same Kritva, Labha alabhau Jaya Ajayau”. One can not treat happiness and sorrow as same until the mind is trained accordingly. Meaning thereby you can not change the events going in whole universe but you can change your self at least this is easier to change your self than changing whole universe. Happiness is scattered every where you have to prepare yourself to pick the Akshay Patra (A pot which always remains full) of happiness.
