Welcome
On Happiness
Happiness comes, not by helplessly wishing for it, but by dreaming, thinking,
and living it in all circumstances. No matter what you are doing, keep the undercurrent
of happiness, the secret river of joy, flowing beneath the sands of your thoughts and
the rocky soil of hard trials.
Some people smile most of the time while they hide a sorrow-corroded heart. Such people
slowly pine away beneath the shadows of meaningless smiles. There are other people who
smile once in a while, yet have beneath the surface a million fountains of laughing
peace.
Learn to be secretly happy within your heart in spite of all circumstances, and say to
yourself, “Happiness is the greatest divine birthright- the buried treasure of my soul.
I have found that I am secretly rich beyond the dream of kings.”
~ Paramhansa Yogananda
