The Book Of Happiness

Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor;
the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

Happy are those who mourn;
God will comfort them!

Happy are those who are humble;
they will receive what God has promised!

Happy are those whose greatest desire is to to what God requires;
God will satisfy them fully!

Happy are those who are merciful to others;
God will be merciful to them!

Happy are the pure in heart;
they will see God!

Happy are those who work for peace;
God will call them his children!

Happy are those who are persecuted
because they do what God requires;
the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

———-

Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you
and tell all kinds of evil lies against you
because you are my followers.

Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven.
This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted.

Matthew 5:2-12

Your worrying shows that you have no faith in the goodness of God
Or even in God himself.
Let Him accomplish things in His own way
Rather than in the way that you desire.
Try to adjust yourself to all that He does
And you will never be unhappy.

As a rule, concentration becomes difficult when we have cares and worries,
For then the attention sticks to the heart centre instead of rising up to the eye centre.
We should take the right steps to meet the situation,
So far as it lies in our power,
And then worry no more …
When you sit for your meditation,
Firmly banish all cares and anxieties
For the time being at least.

Give up the habit of worrying and losing your temper.
It is easy to be happy and laughing;
In fact, easier than it is to fret and frown.
God does not want us to be unhappy…
Have faith in his goodness and grace
And try to keep remembrance of God on your lips at all times.

You unnecessarily imagine things and then worry yourself over them.
This is exactly what the mind is always doing….
This is one of the tricks by which the mind keeps us away from meditation
And also remain itself unhappy and restless.

Maharaj Ji, Quest For Light

A lady whose son was flying to Europe for studies approached the Master and said,
“Sir, I am very worried these days.”
Master inquired the cause of her worry.
She said,”My son is flying to Europe for further studies tomorrow.”
Master just smiled a little (there was always a laugh on his lips) and said,
“Well, what is there to worry? Is it his flying or further studies or tomorrow?”
The lady also laughed and said,”Sir, my heart sinks when I think of the dangers of flying.”
Master:”Why not think the comfort, convenience and quick arrival at the destination?”

The Master remarked,”This is how man creates worries for himself.
Ninety-nine-percent of our worries are self created and quite groundless.”
He quoted a line from Shakespeare,
which says that the dread of a coming misfortune makes us more miserable
than the actual misfortune,
which may come or may not come at all.

No article in this world,
Nor friends nor relations go with us;
Even our body does not accompany us after death.
Then why worry about those who will not accompany us?
Your anxieties and worries pull you down….
The worry should be to reach the eye center
And make it one’s home,
and meet the radiant form of the Master that pulls up,
So that there is no birth hereafter, and no worries.

It doesn’t matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations.
If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light,
It doesn’t matter if the room has been dark for a day, for a week, or ten thousand years -
We turn on the light and it is illumined.

Once we contact our capacity for LOVE and HAPPINESS -
The LIGHT has been turned on.
