Have you met anyone in this world who wants to fail in an exam, or want to lose his job or want to meet with an accident?  Do we find anyone who boldly declares that \u201cThe goal of my life is to lead an UnHappy life<\/b>\u201d.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered why everyone wants or struggles to be happy?  From a beggar on the street to a business magnate, everyone makes plan to ensure a happy and fulfilling life. Even small babies who do not know anything about \u201cBeing Happy<\/b>\u201d or \u201cBeing UnHappy<\/b>\u201d want to be happy.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the source of this desire? <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Srila Prabhupada comments, \u201cThe living entities, like the Lord, are full of consciousness, and they are after happiness.\u201d  Being happy is our natural state & this is why we always seek pleasure. And we seek pleasure because as a soul we are <\/span><\/span>sac-cid-\u00e4nanda<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span> i.e. eternal, blissful and full of knowledge. Radhanath Swami explains, \u201c<\/span><\/span>In the Brahma-sutra it is said ananda<\/i><\/b>–mayo<\/b> ‘bhyasat<\/b><\/i>, which means the inherent <\/span><\/span>
<\/span>nature of every living being is we are seeking pleasure\u201d.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

All of us want to be happy but unfortunately we do not know how to be happy. Since we are souls so we are spirit not matter. Therefore our quest for happiness should also be spiritual not material. Also real happiness is that which is unlimited, uninterrupted and uncontaminated.  <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Krishna is the original source of such unlimited pleasure. And if we want to bathe in this reservoir of pleasure then we will have to get connected to Krishna.  If we take shelter of Govinda (one who gives pleasure to the senses) then we are guaranteed of unlimited and uninterrupted bliss.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
