Making Happy the Ones you Love

Making Happy the Ones you Love - 19 Apr 09

19 Apr 2009 Vrindavan, India

I have been talking about happiness for a few days now and it is my favourite topic which makes it hard for me to stop talking about it. So I will talk a bit more about happiness.

When you love somebody you want to see them happy. This is just the only aim and task that you have if you really love somebody. You cannot really be selfish in that and if it was needed you would even sacrifice your own happiness to make the other one happy. This is a sign of love. You would like to do anything to make your love happy.

I also feel that this is true love: when you want to give happiness. Love for me is giving, not taking. This principal should be the same for happiness. You should give and give. I hope you will not find any controversy with what I said in one of the last diary days. I said you should first make yourself happy. I am actually saying the same thing just in different words. I can tell you this key of love: If you make this effort to make your love happy, you will definitely be happy. You will do it with love and you will enjoy it. Your target is to make your love happy and at the end you are making yourself happy. This is love: you want to make your beloved happy.

Words of Wisdom

Superstition

Superstitious people lose a big part of their freedom! They cannot take any decision on their own but have kept their minds a prison of their superstition! They have sold their intelligence to this nonsense! They could be so much happier in their lives without superstition!
Source
Religion

‘Sadhu’ or ‘Sanyasi’ means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!
Source
Healing

Real healing power is in each of you yourself. The right time, the right company, a loving touch, a hug and sharing words and emotions with the right person can help your healing process
Source
Superstition

Many sportspeople make themselves dependent on a psychological illusion. It is the right seat in the bus due to which they win, not their talent. It is the lucky glove which had them catch the ball, not their good eyes and training to stand at the right spot!
Source
Spiritual

We need to integrate the worldly and material life with spirituality.
Source
Respect

Love never really finishes but respect can finish easily. Don’t let this happen!
Source
Attachment

If you can enjoy giving joy to somebody else, it is detachment!
Source
Religion

Some people don't want to accept that what they believe in is a religion. It is a sign of bad conscience because of religion's control and manipulation. But calling it a 'way of life' does not change it!
Source
Scriptures

Scriptures were written by men, in a male-dominated society, when war, killing and fighting was a daily occurrence, when people were tortured, women were beaten and slaves were being held. You cannot call that holy.
Source
Acceptance

Accept yourself as you are. You can follow a good and healthy example but don't go in any competition. You are fine as you are.
Source
Religion

Criminals and people who do wrong live in fear of the consequences of their actions. Religion gives them a good way to find forgiveness. You only need to go to the temple regularly, tell a priest about what you have on your mind, pay some money, say some prayers and you are forgiven. Then you can go out to do the next crime.
Source
Guilt

Feeling Guilty for others won't help them
Source
Gurus

How can gurus who love the material, silver and gold, call themselves Paramahansa? A true Paramahansa is not interested in wealth.
Source
Cooking

The energy that you have while cooking also goes into the food that you are preparing. Please do not cook when you are angry. Cook when you are in good mood or make your mood good before you start cooking.
Source
Love

When there is Love, you don't count Faults and Mistakes!
Source
Scriptures

Religious scriptures are the main culprits of the creation of superstition.
Source
Beauty

Breast implants are for those who look at them, not for the one who will actually touch them in the end.
Source
God

I won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t take bribes from praying criminals and doesn’t encourage them by giving them success.
Source
Religion

I love the flexibility of religious belief! You can say any nonsense you like and you will definitely find religious arguments for it, proving your point.
Source
Food

Our body is the temple of our soul. Our soul, our god lives in it and we need to respect it and take care of it. Listen to it and only eat when you are hungry. Take care of what you eat, eat healthy food, eat vegetarian. Your stomach is not a garbage box. Fill it with nice things, not with junk food or fast food.
