Hare Krishna! PrabhuJi, u have asked very significant question, which one should ask this in their mind. Well the main reason of unhappiness is people are thinking that everything is mine, for example- this is my country, my house, my car, my wife, my children, (MY BODY) but in real everything belongs to Krishna, neither our senses belongs to us, thats the real reason one can't taste the happiness. Krishna is sacid Ananda full of bliss and happiness and we r part and parcel of Krishna, so we already have that quality but we have forgotten our real position, (aham brhmasmi), so krishna is the real (Bogtaram) enjoyer and our duty is to (hari tosham) to satisfy Krishna then only one can get happiness.
Our original nature is being eternal bliss, and miserey comes from forgetfulness of that eternal nature.
I don't think there is anything that can make us truly happy. In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna says that happiness and distress come and go like the seasons and we must learn to tolerate them. Although there is a temporary happiness from the satisfaction of desires, real happiness comes from knowing who you are as eternal servant of the divine. This conciousness results in happiness that is not shaped by outside occurances.
Happiness is something we connect to our material achievements.And because material things are temporary we lose our so called happiness when we lose the material object we possessed. Thus happiness should not be connected to material objects. The real happiness is when we serve Lord lovingly. Because our relation with Him is etarnal and true happiness derived by serving him is a trancendental bliss.
But as we have forgotten this and accepted ourself as bodies, we become sad. Apart from the philosophy, its difficult for conditioned soul like me to be always on the spiritual platform and not get disturbed by the material distress. But practising KC with full faith and sincerly chanting the holy name will one day get usto level where we can experience this eternal bliss.
Hare Krishna Prabhu. Reality as the name indicates it should be in full.For every human being everything should be in full. That may be enjoyment or happiness.The reality comes only with the lord of the Universe.That is none other than Krishna.Whatever thing it may be, the activity associated with Krishna makes a real happiness.Krishna being a Sac Chit Ananda he is a real happiest and eternal being. We all part and parcel of Krishna.Hence the real happiness is krishna.Devotion and loving service to the lord makes a happiness in real sense.
I have attended 7 day session – journey of self discovery.
I understand from this session that real happiness only come when we have association of GOD KRSNA .and we will be with krsna only after get rid of from the cycle of birth and death . this is only possible by keep in touch with krsna every day/every hour and every second
Even the materialistic forms of happiness that are the most gratifying are actually connected to Sri Krishna. For example, if two people are attracted to each other it is often due to a longing for Krishna and the mutual recognition of the spiritual spark within that makes them click. Other forms of "happiness" are delusional insanity that will result in distress...hence the need to forever "search for happiness". Once you find Krishna in your daily life you can stop searching. You just have to continue struggling with Maya and hope that Lord Krishna is merciful with you in arranging your material and spiritual life.
SB 1.2.19: As soon as irrevocable loving service is established in the heart, the effects of nature's modes of passion and ignorance, such as lust, desire and hankering, disappear from the heart. Then the devotee is established in goodness, and he becomes completely happy.
Jai Shri Krishna. Happy or unhappy are states of mind and happiness in real sense is the real state of human mind, after complete evolution as the best creation of the Supreme. Any worldly desire is the root cause of any unhappiness. Desires will be there, but unfulfilment should not make one unhappy. Living in the bliss of God in His Will is the real happiness, because all happiness then emanates from Him, where there is no trace of unhappiness.
i think when we chant bout krishna or any other god from our deep inside...we feel bundles of happiness. in my case, whenever sit with closed eyes n think for bal krishna leela, his lotus feet, his face and thinking bout banke bihari of vrindavan, i feel great amount of peace. Also when we help somebody in real need, we feel that we hv done a good thing which gives us peace.
Hare Krishna!
Truly so, when one is doing anything for Krishna, it is bound to be full of bliss and happiness, nothing else but shere peace and pleasure. Eyes open or close, when our being is for Krishna, our very existence is the happiness in entirety. How long we remain so is a result of our efforts in the form of Satsang: Kirtan, Smaran, Sewa or by the Grace of Krishna, Radha Rani and/ or Vaishnavas. We are all trying or aspiring to remain in that state.
