Quotes about happiness
happiness people misery
If you are happy, you are happy; nobody asks you why you are happy. Yes, if you are miserable, a question is relevant. If you are miserable, somebody can ask why you are miserable, and the question is relevant - because misery is against nature, something wrong is happening. When you are happy, nobody asks you why you are happy, except for a few neurotics. There are such people; I cannot deny the possibility. Rajneesh
happiness home escaping
I am not saying that you should renounce things, that you should escape from your home and renounce the marketplace. No, don't misunderstand my statement. What is, is good.

Much outer searching has already been done, now go within. Now know the one, in this knowing one attains all. All desires are at once fulfilled.
happiness worry may
Happiness has nothing to do with what you have or don't have. Happiness is related to what you are.

Meditation is enjoying oneself, just sitting silently doing nothing: happy, joyous without any reason, because all reasons come from outside.

happiness mean two
This is what meditation is all about, just becoming a watcher. Failure comes, success comes, you are praised, you are condemned, you are respected, you are insulted - all kinds of things come, they are all dualities. And you go on watching.

Watching both, a depth arises in you: the third dimension, witnessing, sakshin.

My effort here is to create bliss, not happiness. Happiness is worthless; it depends on unhappiness. Bliss is transcendence: one moves beyond the duality of being happy and unhappy.

One simply watches, one says, 'Yes, a white cloud passing.'
