Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 “To all outward appearances he looked very happy and contented, but inwardly, and really he was not so.” – Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. XIV. What does everyone strive for or hope to attain? Happiness. People go searching here and there trying many different means of attaining it, not realizing that the key to happiness is actually right around their neck. Everyone possesses the key to his own happiness but it covered with so much falsehood, that is not uncovered just by chance. The key to true happiness is also not found with knowledge alone. It is found by the experience. Just one moment’s experience of the key brings realization of the simplicity of happiness. The key to true happiness is found when an individual experiences himself as a peaceful person realizing that is what he actually is. It might be the experience of only just a moment but understanding that you do have the ability to withdraw from the negative vibrations and experience your true peaceful self brings hope and happiness. The key is to realize that you are not really an angry, miserable, unfortunate person. Your present state of mind may be such, but you are actually peaceful by nature. How often you use the key and experience your true nature of peace is a different matter. You have been trying to attain happiness and this has cost so much money, time and energy. Why not now discover the key to true happiness? Take a chance on yourself, discover the treasure within and use the key as often as possible. (Source: Ideas Exchange, August 2004) ON OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Let me toast our health and wisdom,One and one are equal to eleven.The eternal bonds that hold our union,Were tied on earth as also in heaven. Let our love be ever our beacon star,On curvy path and terrain unknown.Let our faith be the shining torch,To show us the way on a stormy day. Hand in hand let us walk in unison,And correct the step when need arises.Let us pray together on this anniversay day,That together we stay till our dying day. We know we have but one witness,Who bonded us together on our wedding dayLet us together raise our hands,That bonded we remain every night and day.
