Path to Happiness

quote-srichinmoyThe secret to happiness, I believe is this quote above, “Your heart must become as sea of love. Your mind must become a river of detachment.”  Most people can achieve the first part of this quote that our heart can become a sea of love.  There are many forms of love as shown in the photos below, and as humans, we appear to learn to love as children.

So, we all can love in many ways.  However, the key to true freedom and thus, happiness in one’s life is detachment.  That is what I have been striving for in the past four years.  There are no external things, persons, or events that control our emotional well being or our peace.  The world may whirl around us with chaos, drama, and instability, but we move forward peacefully and with certainty.  It is living in a world through this objectivity without being pulled into the chaos, drama, and instability of the world around us.

On my spiritual journey, I am moving closer and closer to this goal.  It is not indifference, as I feel great love and compassion for my loved ones.  It is just that I no longer need them to be happy, or any objects or events for that matter. What I feel is I no longer take things personally, when people criticize me or leave me.  I am very object and thoughtful in my perspective of things, and let things go faster and faster.  The events and people in my life no longer rule my emotions or divert my purpose as I move forward on my path to happiness.
