Guest guest Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Namaste Advaitins, Please allow and enable my attempt in defining a unified path to Happiness visible from todays context and language. .........................................|-Actions based on Love ...........................|--feelings---| ...........................|.............|--Actions based on hate ..........---Satisfaction--| ..........|....Samsara.....| ..........|................|--Commitment--Actions based on role ..........|...............................in its resposibility ..........| Happines-- ..........| ..........| ..........| ..........---- Samadhi ...............Sanyasa Happiness is the result of Satisfaction. One way to achieve consistancy in its flow is evolving to sanyasa state (please do not mix this notion with the other assumed post theory on sanyaasi). Until then everybody gets a flicker or streak of Happiness. When its a flicker and when its a streak depends on where one bets on or whats convincing to them... Majority of the population ride the theory of Love and hate which creates the largest fabric of activities... love for satisfying each and every senses and hence its organs resulted in all the business you see...love for relationship results in family, friends and relatives...Love for winning, love for supremacy and power... etc hate also contributes a lot... hate to be wrong...hate to be poor...hate to be criticized, hate to loose... ...an obvious example why many are not active participants in this group can be related with the hate, resulting out of the fear, in being wrong or hatred from fear of change...and hence they are satisfied. Since feelings are subject to change, any bet based on it is very temporary and hence those get a flicker of happiness and gets to do it as routines. Hence they end up spending almost their lifetime fixing feelings to achieve satisfaction.... but its still their choice ... To satisy my love for learning, by involving you, i've purposefully been provocative in some places. Please feel free to be bad with me ... i'm ready to reckon any possible questions of anybody's day to day deals with the above model....i'm ready to guarantee happiness with vedanta model are you ready to be happy ???

Namaste All, I have been away in the computer free world of the mountains and returned to a dead hard drive so this is a quick note on a borrowed machine. In addition to the valuable posting on happiness it may be useful to look a little at the English word. The 'root' of happiness is 'ap'. Therefore a number of related words may be of interest: apt aptitude etc. Happiness is the natural 'experience' arising from an action performed without addition or subtraction ie.it is apt. If we close the door with attachment it will either slam shut in anger or not quite close because we wish to disturb no one as we creep out on secret business. To act naturally,leaving no trace, allows happiness to flow freely for all actions will be performed aptly. Just a short comment from a study on happiness some time ago and which needs to be remembered now amid the seemingly never-ending computer problems. May we help each other towards the path of the Sannyasi, Ken Knight > Until then everybody gets a flicker or streak of > Happiness. > > When its a flicker and when its a streak depends on > where one bets on > or whats convincing to them... > > Majority of the population ride the theory of Love > and hate which > creates the largest fabric of activities... > > love for satisfying each and every senses and hence > its organs > resulted in all the business you see...love for > relationship results > in family, friends and relatives...Love for winning, > love for > supremacy and power... etc > > hate also contributes a lot... hate to be > wrong...hate to be > poor...hate to be criticized, hate to loose... > > ..an obvious example why many are not active > participants in this > group can be related with the hate, resulting out of > the fear, in > being wrong or hatred from fear of change...and > hence they are > satisfied. > > Since feelings are subject to change, any bet based > on it is very > temporary and hence those get a flicker of happiness > and gets to do > it as routines.

Is Search.... finding whats defined in your intellect outside? ...for convincing oneself or others ??? Is surrender ... ....accepting ideologies ? ...accepting for the sake or fear for the person or a group ?... alignment cause of Love or hate?... Is Surrendering to search... finding knowledge to ratify the knowledge ?.. reasoning with intellect? Is searching to Surrender .... ....for a convincing place to surrender?...convincing path or group or Guru to surrender ? Advaitins please educate me on what? why ? and How? to search and surrender Pranams V.Srinivasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
