Are we truly happy? Of course, we are all happy, but are we happy all the time? Most of us have bouts of being glad and being sad just like there is day and night. We find happiness and unhappiness as the two sides of the coin of life - but is there a way to be happy all the time? Of course there is. For those who are evolving on the happiness journey, you move from pleasure to contentment, which is a kind of joy that doesn’t end. However, in that journey of contentment and fulfillment there are still short spells of sorrow; there are disappointments, there are desires that remain unfulfilled which give us pain. But there is another way to be happy all the time, to live in that heavenly bliss called Aananda – the joy that never ends. Aananda is the joy that comes from self-realization; realization of who we truly are – we are not this body, we are not this mind, we are the divine spirit, the soul, the atman and when we realize we are that divine spirit, then our life changes. We are no more wanting, craving, desiring because we are not the body, therefore, we live without desires. We live dispassionately. We renounce and we live a life of contentment and fulfillment. The realization makes us seek the power that created us without any reason to be unhappy or live with sorrow. Aananda is that joy which comes from Nirvana. Nirvana is breaking away from life’s circle of death and rebirth and therefore, living in absolute bliss - bliss in the knowledge of the truth that God lives within. Aananda makes us realize that we are a part of that divine power called God. Seek Aananda. For if you seek Aananda and get Aananda you will eliminate sorrow from your life. Your life will be a life of unending joy. You will be one with the Creator when you get Aananda.
