HAPPINESS THE AIM OF LIFE
By: RIMA ARORA
“HAPPINESS – THE AIM OF LIFE”
If we analyze each action at every stage of individuals the first conclusion will be that the ulterior motive behind each such action is to attain “Happiness”. All the efforts, works or struggles which individuals are making in this world are directed to secure “Happiness”.
However, the process of attaining “Happiness” is different with different patterns of society and walks of life. Individuals are running after money, buildings, family happiness, position, and status, facilities of conveyance, higher education, decent clothing, and improved standards of living all with a common aim of attaining “Happiness”.
It is a strange paradox that in every walk of life “Happiness” does not come alone but sorrow or misery follows as a close companion of happiness. This phenomenon keeps everybody in a strain of mental equilibrium. Before one can follow the path leading to “Happiness”, an individual must know clearly where “Happiness” actually resides. Having known the real aim of life, viz. “Attainment of Eternal Happiness”, a complementary question arises as to where is the abode of this “Happiness”, and how it can be achieved in practical life.
Correctly speaking, Mind is the real instrument which by proper tuning drives to the goal of life along the right path in the right direction and leads to the source of eternal happiness- the aim of human life. It is the static position of the mind which imparts happiness.
The innermost part of the mind is Conscience. The real power of happiness flows through this organ and the extent to which it can be derived depends upon the strength and cleanliness. The ultimate aim is “Eternal Happiness” for which a regular war has to be waged, always gazing deeply in the mind’s mirror, the conscience , which by practice illuminates better and better, as the angel of plus develops and defects the devil of minus power. With sincere efforts an individual becomes fearless and sees himself as he really is and not as others look at him.
The true path to happiness therefore lies in:
• Gaining true knowledge of the inner self, the seat of eternal bliss to locate the abode of permanent happiness.
• Practice a control of the sensual forces which cause distraction to the mind through their developed army of desires and thoughts.
• Controlling sensual pleasures and desires in assisting in controlling the mind.
• Keeping an eye on the mind’s mirror, the conscience and regulating the actions in a way that maximum plus power is transmitted to the conscience.
• Proper preservation of the body in good health, to enjoy the worldly pleasures and have a turbulent mind.
The real aim of life lies in clearly picking up “Happiness” and moving on a path which will lead to “Eternal Happiness”, i.e. a path which is not mixed sorrow and pain, and will remain constant and never diminish.
