Transcript

[Music] welcome back so in the process of spiritual education we have been learning about cleansing especially through annamaya kosha Fran oh my poor shaman oh my gosh Avignon my question the previous episodes we have learnt about how to cleanse our intellect the intellect cleansing now today I'm going to talk about the anonymization the happiness part so here now I will ask a fundamental question to all of us what is the origin of happiness there is a huge a lot happens around this happiness they may call it ecstasy they may call it bliss they may call it you know peace there are so many things you know that evolve around this even though there is a slight difference between amongst all these things we need to understand some basics about this sure one important thing about the wrong understanding about this happiness is we always think that we get the happiness from a particular object or by getting something right for example you know a child feels that like you know by getting bicycling he will be happy or you know you will be happy by passing ten standard the examination at Wells town or examination or you know if you go a little up by getting married to that particular girl or boy I will be happy or if you if you notice a businessman by getting more profits he will be happy or if you know you know like this whenever are some people they may say you know by going to this place I will be happy by doing that I will be happy by you know this is all there right fundamentally when we look into what is the origin of happiness see we are not denying denying that you know you will not be happy by getting all these things but even though you are getting inspired of all those things where does that happiness or gen ating from it is from within you right it might see there is an object up there is something there is something at that particular point of time but ultimately where is it generating it is from within you right so here one of the misunderstanding is if at all you think that you will get the happiness by getting something or if your happiness is dependent on getting that particular thing the moment it goes your happiness also will go right it is possible if your happiness is caused by a particular bike if that bike goes you will be unhappy right or if you are having if you are getting happiness from a boy or a girl whenever they leave you you know you will have the of course we all know it there are so many songs as there is so much what happens around this so we have to understand the fundamental the origin of this happiness see the origin of the origin of happiness is actually within you this is the primary understanding and now how to gain how to get access to your inner happiness so this is the another dimension or one of the important aspects of our life whenever we go behind the things in the process of getting it we become a slave of those things and when you get you will you will be more excited and when you lose you you will have more sorrow sorrowful less in the life right so it's all about like you know they say you know to all these two things good bad or like you know happiness or unhappiness all these things so here the fundamental important base to the life is being happy for no reason this is what we have to master in our life especially if you notice into our previous episodes I was talking about silence I was talking about calmness I was talking about settled mind all these things right yeah by which you get the peace and we were also talking about intellect how it gets attached with the things all these things right so here being happy for no reason which which means fundamentally you have the access to the silence in the silence you have the freedom silence has to happen within so out of your being free then there is then comes joy see again happiness means it is not that all the time your you know laughing loudly that is not only the thing fundamentally some calmness in the mind some pleasantness that is what is most important here in you know your in spite of having so much of wealth at these that so many things if this peace of mind or if this calmness of settle Ness is not present in the mind we don't feel much value to to the outer things all right this we find what could be the reason many people from foreign coming to India and going through all these Swamiji's are going to Himalayas and doing so much the purser this sadhana that that sod and all these things this is the only reason in spite of so much of materialistic things they could not find themselves in that and they they come here and they end up finding themselves through all these sources finally you know they come to a conclusion that yes this is what it is now so similarly our sorry fortunately India is place for that so in this process like you know if you look into this we have we are in the process of going to the spiritual knowledge right and we are cleansing each one of these systems to attempt so whenever all these four cautious annamaya pranamaya mano Maya Vic nano Maya coaches have cleansed or when they are clean naturally you get the access to this anandamaya kosha it happens automatically you are calm settled so that is where you you feel that sense of calmness sense of oakiness otherwise it is all about that is not okay this is not okay this needs to be improved that needs to be improved it has to be then that has to be done so much of this doing when when you come to a state when you come to a stage where you are settled where you feel that nothing needs to be done nothing has to happen that is where you experience this your anandamaya kosha will start functioning and what is the sign of the son and my question like this is open you know I will say some some of the instances where our anandamaya kosha opens for example say like one of the clear indication is that whenever your are and the microtia is active you feel like singing right you sing and then your son a sense of joyousness from within that flows and when you are happy you want to sing sometimes right now it is using only at the washrooms right which means we can't even do that freely so which means I mean to say that like the time that we are quality ly spending with ourself has reduced so here the question what is the origin of happiness when we look into it the silence the calmness is the origin of happiness this has to become a practice or base for our life and then out of this of course we might do thousands of thing is thousands of things are activities in this world we can perform so many duties we can do a lot this is the fundamental understanding about the under Maya kosha and even see you look into a person and then you ask why is it like why are you doing this what is the ultimate thing that you are trying to get out of this very simple they say that you know it is for the well-being what is what is well-being one of the key important things in well-being is happiness along with all materialistic things of course we also need many things car bangla everything all these things everything we need at the same time this is also most important so this is different as a different knowledge that we need to understand about the origin of happiness you know already we have seen about the wrong you know the belief systems in Wigner and microtia but here some of the wrong beliefs about the happiness by eliminating all these wrong believes about happiness or the ananda from within we will have the access to an under my Akasha so important aspect of anandamaya kosha is silence again what is silence not getting disturbed by anything happening inside or outside taking time to not to produce anything not to do anything to just be quite most important thing that is the happiness thing that we are referring to here thank you namaste [Music]
