Happiness

In this world we are as a person with developed qualities of the mind. Ego is part of our mind and to get rid of it, it is we have to embrace the aspects of our self, dark and light. In embracing our ego, transform it into the light and loving aspects that we want to share. The ego is a vehicle to make our purpose visible in the world. When we can transform the negative meaning of ego into a positive one then we are driving the vehicle in the right direction. Without ego in our personality we would be like everyone else, same and that is never the destiny of creation. We are one in diversity and make it visible in the world in many different ways. The creativity of each individual is different unlike the animal world where the higher consciousness has not evolved.

One of the sure ways to remain in a happy or positive state of mind is to have faith in oneself. If we are dependent on external forces to make us happy or laugh we will be disappointed. Like the Kings who had court jesters to make them laugh. Once we sincerely believe in ourselves and have compassion in our hearts, then a simple act of helping someone can bring us out of our momentary despondency, we develop fortitude and an optimistic outlook an even an innocent child's smile can make our day. Even a true believer may exude over confidence in his ability and arrogance of his religious beliefs, but he is inwardly brittle and winds of misfortune easily shatter him. He sinks into despair when calamity strikes as he has no anchor except his religion and faith like a shipwrecked mariner/ or Bedouin who has been marooned in the vast desert, with no human help at hand waits for the ultimate miracle to save him, not knowing that the breath of life and breath of death are separated by distance of each breath and if his soul is dead then living has no meaning.!
