The Power Of Happiness: The Power Of The Mind Consciousness And Journey Through The Inner Landscape, #2

By Aseem Katoch

The most sought after the most wanted thing in life –"Happiness".

Why are the majority deluded of happiness ? 

 

Is  happiness your nature, choice, your complete being, or the state of your mind?

What makes your life happy, blissful, and absolute? Is It Money, fame, fortune, the power that gives you happiness, or your purpose, passion, relations, and connection? Which is your highest intrinsic value in life?

Why does happiness seem elusive for so many of us? like fog, you can see it from far off, thick, immense, and full of shape. But you cannot seem to find and enjoy it.

While you are busy making other plains, you miss the grandeur and glory of life, the joy, the happiness, the people, places, and relations your loved most are moving away and you miss out so much on life. The beauty, the splendor, the grandeur, the glory of this day, this moment, you all have this slowly vanishing. Remember this day, this hour, this moment that all matters.

It reminds me of John Lennon's immortal lines as he once said "Life is what is happening, while we are busy making other plans."

Do you feel something is missing in life and you feel lonely? Does Loneliness take you toward a creative or darkened state?

Are you the one who tends to ignore your existence, when things seem difficult and all hope is lost.?

Do you miss contentment, tranquillity, peace, and sereneness within you? If so then you are equally missing gratitude, optimism, love, and compassion toward one and all. Is love missing in your life? Which harmonized all creation through which all love and happiness flow.

Do you feel too much attached to the relations, people, things around you and have high expectations from them?

Why do most of us ignore all the small and simple things in life and go after big?

Do you live your life in complex and in the comparison and keep complaining? In happiness what you give away, comes back each day. Are you an active participant in the game of life?

Do you get entangled in a whirlpool of negative thoughts?
Do you feel more often negative, narrow and nasty and seek refuge in easy and soft targets and short-term sadistic pleasures thereby depriving yourself of long-term contentment and happiness?

The fear of loss, anxiety, fear of death, fear of uncertainty, fear of security. The threat of these fears lingering and looming large on our existential sphere.

As Charles Dickens writes "Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes"
Learn to live life. Count your blessings and feel grateful. People exist together, you accept them or reject them. Always appreciate the beauty of life and live every day as your last day

As Fyodor Dostoevsky writes these immortal lines "When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul-then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness."

This book takes you all through the marvel of happiness and unfolds new ways of real happiness and fulsome existential joy within and beyond the physical.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

This book on the Power of Happiness is a natural progression after the success of my first iconic book ‘The Power of the Mind, Consciousness, and Journey through the inner Landscape’. That book hit the Amazon Best Seller  Rank # 1  in multiple countries. The Power of the Mind if realized, actualized, and use to its full potential, takes one from known to unknown and connects to the infinite source and other dimensions. So, happiness seems to be a natural choice as well as our state of the mind.  Happiness is the inner music of the soul, which is essentially and inevitably a by-product of your own, nature, and state of the mind.  The entire world and this beautiful planet need love, appreciation, grace, and gratitude.  The author acknowledges the beauty of the creation, procreation, and recreation, which is quintessential for one’s identity, change, and security.  The author also acknowledges all those invisible powers and infinite sources that seem to run this show on the planet.  The book on the Power of happiness is in dire need now than any other time as Humanity is robbed of its happiness by the negative, narrow, nasty, darkened forces and archaic ideology all around. The author acknowledges gratefully all those fine minds who have been quoted here. The author expresses his deepest gratitude and acknowledgment to all the readers across the globe for their kind appreciation and overwhelming response to his first book. It was indeed quite touching to have such high rating reviews of my first book coming from across the globe. I am so humbled and overwhelmed.  I express my heartfelt thanks to all the readers across the globe. We cannot but only appreciate the timeless,  eternal glory of the cosmos and all those subtle forces of mankind who,  despite chaos and confrontation around, remained invincible because of their conscious pursuits to make this world and, a planet a beautiful, joyous, and the happiest ever.

I am grateful for everyone’s support such as from my family, friends, and some kind and wonderful people around and far from me.  I express special thanks to my child for helping this book to come  to life.  I am grateful  for my parent’s supreme blessings.  I also thank my late wife Uma for the wonderful memories she has given me which will always  remain as a source of strength in this long and lone journey.

THE  POWER  OF  HAPPINESS

––––––––

How can one make this planet a happy place to live in? What is happiness and how do we get into that state?  Is it related to money or materials things such as fame and fortune?  Despite having all these, do you feel something is still missing? such as real joy, peace, and happiness?  Are you constantly and consciously in search of it or seeking it in and around? What is missing in your life?  Do you get yourself wrapped in the negative, nasty, and narrow thoughts and get lost in the day-to-day humdrum of life?  How about your life, love,  relations, appreciation, and gratitude? Are you in love with your life? if so, then you can stretch beyond into other realms and feel the joy of the cosmos and creation. You can break the limitation, about money, health, happiness, and joy. You can feel unchained. There is existential joy and you can celebrate your life to the fullest.

Happiness is a choice, it is your state of being. The art of being happy is appreciating and liking what you have instead of what you do not have and live every moment with love, grace, and gratitude.  In the words of Aldous Huxley, Happiness is not achieved by conscious pursuit; it is generally the by-product of other activities. 

The power to create happiness is within you. Very little is needed to make a happy life, it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. You must find happiness in small things and if you find yourself in too many diverse or common things, try to extract happiness from those situations or common things.  Be authentic in your all pursuits, learn to flow in the now moment. You must know your priorities and treasure your highest intrinsic values and learn to let go of things that do not matter and cease worrying about things that are beyond your control or beyond the power of your will. It is vital to control your anger, It is an enemy to happiness. When you have choices and options, consider and control your options. You must invest in yourself and expand,  be ingenious and creative willing to travel an extra mile. 

You must love your work, hobbies, invest in yourself, family and relations. You must have a great deal of enthusiasm, excitement,  love, passion, and more important is the zest for life. You should exhibit humbleness and humility.  Live and move ahead in life with utmost gratitude and celebration in giving spirit with impersonal interests.  Smile, silence, prayer, and meditation are extremely important to straighten and soften your inner landscape, which would connect you with other dimensions and your source.

We all crave identity, recognition, change, and security. These are three important characteristics of human beings. To have these characteristics you need to re-create and renew yourself constantly and add meaning to your life. It is as simple as you need to become ‘self-actualizing in the words of Abraham Maslow.  That is towards actual fulfilment and personal enrichment.

What are the basic laws of happiness? in the words of J. Wallace Hamilton,  ‘This is inner music of the soul, essentially an inevitably a by-product that it comes invariably by in direction to pursue and to pounce upon it, to go directly after it is the surest way to miss it and not to obtain it". 

You must fall in love with life and stretch yourself into other realms. Unleash the power within you and
