De-linking Desire from Happiness: A Desire is not a pre-requisite for Happiness

De-linking Desire from Happiness – A Desire is not a pre-requisite 
for Happiness

You happiness is not dependent on your job, your relationship (boyfriend/girlfriend/Wife),
the things you own etc.

A job, a person or a thing, one can inspire you more than the other but the job/person or thing 
itself will never make you happy. Every job will become monotonous, every relationship 
becomes boring & complacent, every thing loses its value (they become ordinary) 
after a while when the excitement comes down. See in retrospect of your life the things you 
really wanted are just ordinary now. That's the truth of nature.

If you are not in a state of happiness when you are NOT DOING ANYTHING where 
 you are sitting alone by yourself, you will never achieve the state of happiness when 
you get the job, get the relationship or get that thing like a car, house phone or whatever
 you wanted. You will be excited for sometime which will naturally come down but will not make
 you happy.

So a job/thing/person doesn't make you happy or unhappy. Either you were happy or 
unhappy before even you got them. It is just that if you were unhappy & you got say for 
example a job that did not inspire you from your heart that unhappiness became more profound.

You would have heard people saying “If you are not happy in this moment, you would not 
be happy when you achieve something.”. What they are trying to say is there is a life-source 
inside you which is the source of happiness. If you are connected to that source of 
happiness inside you right now in this moment, you will be happy but if you are not you 
will not sense that happiness. It will be accidental which will come & go by its own.

Happiness is state inside you which becomes a way of life once that state becomes stable 
enough where it is not impacted by any external event going around you & that comes through 
Meditation.

A difference between a person who is Meditating & one who is not is that the first one 
is consciously choosing the process to become Happy or Enlightened. The second 
one who is not Meditating is waiting for it to happen accidentally which may or may not 
happen in his/her lifetime.

Also when you are in the state of happiness all the time, you won't attract unhappy people 
& even if you come across someone who is unhappy they will drop from your life pretty quickly. 
Thats what nature is about. What you are, you attract.

With Love
