You want to be Happy Go to Mulla Nasruddin with all your money...........

A very rich man once wanted to become happy. He had tried all kinds of ways buteverything had failed. He went to many saints; nobody could help him.

Then somebody suggested, "You go to Mulla Nasruddin. He lives in a certain town - he is the only man who can be of some help to you."

The man went with a bag full of diamonds, and he showed the bag to Mulla Nasruddin who was sitting underneath a tree outside the town, resting under the sun.

And he said, "I am a very miserable man - I want happiness. I am ready to give anything for it, but I have not tasted even once what happiness is - and death is coming closer.

Can you help me? How can I be happy? I have all kinds of things that the world can give to me, yet I am unhappy. Why?"



Mulla looked at the man, and it happened so fast that the rich man could not understand what was happening. He just jumped on the man, took away the bag, and ran.



Of course the man followed, crying, shouting, "I have been cheated, robbed!"

Mulla knew all the streets of the town, so he was going zigzag, this way and that. And the rich man had never run in his life, and he was crying and tears were flowing down, and he said, "I have been robbed absolutely - that was my whole life's earnings. Save me, people! Help me!"



And a crowd followed. And by the time they reached Mulla, the Mulla had come back to the place where the rich man had found him. The rich man's horse was still standing there, Mulla was sitting under the tree. The rich man was crying, breathing hard. And Mulla gave the bag back to him.

The rich man said, "Thank God!" And such tears of joy, and such peace.



Mulla said, "Look, I have made you happy. Now you know what happiness is? This bag has been with you for years and you were unhappy. It had to be taken away from you."



Happiness is part of unhappiness. That's why happiness should not be the goal of your life, because if you want happiness you will have to remain unhappy. The unhappier you are, then only a few moments, few and far between, will be those of happiness.



Once you know the inner riches, then there is nothing which is comparable from the outside world. Once you know the inner bliss, then enjoyment is foolish, then all that goes on in the name of entertainment is foolish, stupid. It just falls down once you know the inner ecstasy. Then all that is known as happiness, joy, is nothing but deception. But not before — unless you have known the inner happiness you cannot say that, and if you say that then you will be in a greater deception.

LOVE

Love is there in the whole creation.
Everything is Love.
But you have never related in your life other than by name and form;
You could not love something which has no name or form.
The guru embodies-Buddha embodies,
Jesus embodies-that infinite Love with name and form.


In this entire creation there is a tendency to become one, To get back to one, because the two is painful.
From two, to go to one is the purpose of creation.
Everything wants to merge into something.
What is that? We call it Love.


Don’t be concerned and worried about money so much.
Be filled with love, be filled with gratitude,
get rid of the fear in you by being in love.


Sri Sri Ravishankar
