Most people are not happy (although they pretend to be), because they are way too identified with the illusory outer world and with their many mind-created (and greatly exaggerated) problems.You want to be happier? Start by becoming aware of the unspeakable treasures lying within you. I can tell you that your true nature and birthright is happiness, abundance and fulfillment, but as long as you don’t experience this by yourself it won’t be of much help.
You are already happy, fulfilled, abundant… but unfortunately you completely lost sight of the treasures within yourself while you became more and more identified with your mind. The mind loves to create problems and whenever one is solved, three new ones are created.
So, what can you do to “get out of your mind” and to become more aware of your inner happiness?
Calm down, relax and let go. Let go of everything for a moment, dive within, become completely detached from your mind (at least for a short while)… Now you feel it: A glimpse of happiness, a deep peace, a strength you never experienced before.
That’s who and what you really are: Happiness, love, peace, freedom. Anything else you might believe that you are is only an illusion, a mind created illusion that you have mistaken for real and that started also to reflect in your outer experiences and circumstances. Take a few moments every now and then to go within and to become aware of your true nature. Close your eyes, calm your mind and dive within. Simply observe and BE. Don’t expect anything in particular and don’t judge whatever might or might not happen.
You can experience your true nature – happiness, peace, love, fulfillment – only in deep silence, when the mind is absolutely calm.
Yes, it’s really simple, but it’s not easy. It will need some (or even quite a lot of) practice to move from mind-chatter to awareness and silence. Keep going within, even if it’s difficult sometimes and you get the impression that nothing special is happening.
It’s always very beneficial to move into deep silence, only your mind might tell you: “What’s the point? This doesn’t lead me anywhere. I don’t feel anything special…” Don’t listen to it.
All you’ve ever been looking for in life is already within you and that’s also the only place where you can find it. It’s impossible to fulfill your deepest yearnings on the outside. However, once you realize your true nature within, it will also materialize on the outside and whatever you might be dreaming of right now will come to you on it’s own. The outside is nothing but a mirror of what is within.
One of the aspects of your nature is happiness and once you become aware of it and identified with it all kind of things that represent happiness will also manifest in your outer life and circumstances.
On the other hand, if you are not aware of your “happiness-nature”, accumulating material riches, prizes, titles, honors… won’t make you happy. Even after you’ve done all the hard work and accomplished whatever you desired, you’ll still be the some old, unhappy donkey you’ve always been. You might now have a bigger house, a bigger car… but you’ll still be unhappy.
What a dilemma! So, the solution is to go within, into deep silence. Watch and observe without thinking, without judging and doing – simply be. Within, in deep silence you will find whatever you’ve been longing for and even much more. Enough now, shut up your mind and enjoy the silence within….
