Is it a discovery within? A search for the lost self or self-worth, self-tolerance or self-connectivity? How do I discover it?
The answer to this question is not straightforward and simple. It might need a lot of trials and errors before we arrive at the right conclusion. So let us try this experiment, which takes only 30 seconds:
Stop any activity you are doing, close your eyes and breathe mindfully. As the oxygen touches the skin of your chest from within, you can feel its presence. Just feel that movement and switch off from all external sounds. Listen to the vibration and feel the pulse there from within.
Probably, this vibration is the ‘happiness’ that has been eluding us in the external world. We could feel its presence right there, within us, in that moment. Maybe, it is present within in every moment. Maybe, we are created to vibrate and spread this vibration! One broken chord will break all other chords of happiness that exist in the self, family, neighborhood, city, country, world, and the universe.
If you are truly and purely happy, even for a few seconds in a day, it is the greatest gift you can give to yourself and a payback to the cosmos, humanity and everyone around you.
It seems but logical to work towards that.
