Why do we seek Happiness?
We try to find it in our family, work, hobbies, activities, in everything else we do. Yet it eludes us. Even after so many disappointments, we seek happiness.
The Vedas state: ānando brahmeti vyajānāt. ‘Know God to be of the nature of Bliss'
The Supreme Lord is an infinite ocean of divine bliss, and we souls are His fragmental parts
A lump of mud is a part of the earth and is pulled towards it by the force of gravity
A river is created by water vapour arising from sea, it flows back into the sea
We souls are little drops of the ocean of infinite happiness so our natural propensity is to seek bliss.
