In Search Of Happiness...

Happiness! YES we all living beings want Happiness.Yes Happiness is beautiful feeling and everybody wants to be Happy.We love smiling faces,everybody likes it.We want  to laugh and smile at all the time and we work hard to get that Happiness.
                    Yet I have observed that this happiness is not constant and its definition varies from person to person.Some ambitious people become happy when they achieve their goal ,a King or Ruler  becomes happy when he sees  that  people in his country are happy,Parents become happy when they see that their children are happy,Husband wants to see happy face of  his wife and vice versa,some become happy when they worship God whereas there are some people who wants happiness by doing any action good or bad .But the fact is that  even a thief,murderer or cheater wants happiness irrespective of his bad actions.This want of happiness is present not only in human being but in all the living beings.Animals also want happiness and some might have experienced(those who have pet) that even animals want to be loved by others because this makes them happy. My mind never stops questioning and the question that comes to my mind is Why this Happiness varies ?Why it is not constant?Why does it arise and from where?Will I be happy all the time once I fulfill my dreams? I believe that nobody in this world can say that once he achieves his goal in his life then he will be happy all the time.Nobody in this world can say that he will not need happiness if his wife and children becomes  happy And nobody in this world would not agree  that he wants Happiness by any means.But why do we want to become happy and what is this Happiness?
             I have read many scriptures and many books to know more about life that we are living and I have strong feeling that Happiness or want of Happiness is not human or any living being characteristics.It is much beyond human potential to understand Happpiness with his mind.Happiness is a characteristic of God we worship.It does not matter which God we worship but it is fact that we all living beings want to become happy though our objects of Happiness might be different.And this self realization is justifies the truth that God,who is ompnipresent, is within us and  the longer we search for happiness in the objects of the world the longer it will take to realize the true happiness which is within us, Inside our Hearts.

Human Beings : Unfolding The Mystery

Human Beings,yes we all are known by our scientific name "Human Beings".But our human mind starts speculating and assigns names like Indian-Pakistani-American-->Hindu-Muslim-Christian-->Brahmin-Kayastha--Kshatriya-->Upper Brahmin--Lower Brahmin and so on.I am really amazed with the fact people know that a new born child is born with no name ,religion,caste,country yet they want to name him/her without even asking him/her what does he/she wants.And we live in the so called civilised society where people do not want to argue or question about these matters and want to die somewhere someday sometime as if they were never born on this earth.

I respect life and I can see life not only in Human Beings but also in animals,birds,plants etc.The question that comes to my mind is what is the difference between them and us and why we Human Beings consider ourselves superior living beings then other living beings on this earth.Hmm tricky question?? I observe that all the living beings on this planet are engaged in their day to day activity like eating,sleeping,mating,working for food and living their life.Then why are we superior?

The reason that I found is that the only difference that we have than other living beings is our :INTELLIGENCE. Yes, we are intelligent living beings(ah! feeling proud now) because we can control all other living beings irrespective of size and power with our intelligence or we can build big-big buildings, stylish cars,innovate computers,mobiles and now bluetooth and many other things, in short making life easy.But people used to live even when they did not have big buidings,computers,mobiles or any other innovative product of our mind..Then how does this intelligence makes us superior than other living being as they also do not need them to live a life?

"Shashtras,Vedas,Bhagavad-Gita,Kuran,Bible,Gurugranth Sahib or any other scriptures of any religion says that the only purpose of human being is to understand 'God' and he has got this intelligence to realize him and find the truth" .It is said that if you do any work , even the best work , without keeping in mind the existence of 'God' in this world is of no use .But even any miniscule work done to please the "Alimighty God" reaches immediatly to God and to all living beings on this earth even after his/her death".

Now I do not know how many people believe in this philosophy or might be truth, but would like to know if anybody has any other justification better than this to justify the existence of Superior Living Beings "The Human Beings".
