The Origin of Absolute Bliss

It should be your inherent nature that when you visit a garden your eyes should fall only on those spots where a beautiful flower is blooming.

-HH Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj

It is often talked about, sometimes pondered over yet rarely understood – which are the steps that will lead to absolute bliss in life-a state of happiness that is free from limitations. How to reach there and before that, what is the origin of such bliss?

Well, no one can say that a state of absolute happiness is a destination that we will reach after walking on a certain path for some time. Whatever you are doing in your life you have to find heaven in that and move forward. It doesn’t matter what type of life you are living and in which circumstance or how turbulent your life is right now. It should be your inherent nature that when you visit a garden your eyes should fall only on those spots where a beautiful flower is blooming.

Be Like Water

Try to never allow negativity to dominate you. Collect those moments that can bring a smile to your face. And for that, inculcate such a nature within you that keeps you in the search of happiness always. Prepare yourself to remain in a peaceful state in all circumstances. Of course, worries, distress and fear are inevitable in life. But understand that no matter how boiled the water is after sometimes it resumes its normal state, which is cool and calm. So, be like water.

Bliss appears through the act of balancing as well. Balance your life and work, stay well-managed, and disciplined; singing songs in your heart all the time. You’ll feel blessed. Moreover, it is not necessary to search for happiness in the materials present in the outer world. They can assist you in staying happy. When it comes to absolute happiness, only your inner world would play a key role here.

Germinate the Seeds of Happiness

Keep it in your mind that your inner world is like a fertile land. It’s up to you what you want to sow in here. It can be the seed of hatred, the seed of jealousy, the seed of fear, or the seeds of happiness. Whichever seed is present within you it will gain energy from your surroundings and flourish. So when you sit in solitude, try to sow the seeds of peace & love within yourself. Others may try to put you in trouble and make your life miserable but since there is no seed of unrest within you, naturally you will remain happy.

So, contemplate right now and think about where your life’s journey is leading you. No matter where you are on your journey put God first and know Him as the ultimate source of bliss. Absolute devotion is necessary here. Get connected to the supreme power and make progress on the path of devotion, eventually, you’ll develop the ability to find the bliss that is already within you. Your whole nature, movement, gestures, and posture; everything will get filled with delight and harmony.

Put God First

Know that God is with you always. Develop such a vision that can see God wants to give you all the pleasures of life. If you’ll have such a vision, it will transform your life because in that case, you’ll become able to dedicate all your Karma to the feet of God.

Therefore, do your duty while keeping God in your heart like a Kabir who weaved clothes but created timeless couplets in the name of God, like a Mira, who faced criticism and hostility from her own family, yet composed beautiful songs of devotion, like a Raidas, the son of a cobbler who stayed connected to God while working on leather.

So, perform your duty with happiness and stay connected to God Who is the one and only origin of bliss. Once you will start focusing on God through all your Karma, His blessing will reflect in your eyes and then there will be a different world before you. You’ll find happiness everywhere, in your every action, result and surroundings.
