Happiness Depends on Unhappiness
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 watches both; happiness comes, one watches and does not become identified with it. One does not say, ‘I am happy. Peace, it is wonderful.’ One simply watches, one says, ‘Yes, a white cloud passing.’
And then comes unhappiness, and one does not become unhappy either. One says, ‘A black cloud passing. I am the witness, the watcher.’
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 the duality, a third force arises in you; a third dimension arises in you. The duality means two dimensions: one dimension is happiness; another is unhappiness. Watching both, a depth arises in you: the third dimension, witnessing, sakshin.
And that third dimension brings bliss. Bliss is without any opposite to it. It is serene, tranquil, cool. It is ecstasy without any excitement.

@WokePandemic That’s a very broad and general statement without much evidence to back your claim. The problems of first generation migrants are multifolds and differ in a huge way to the second/ third generations.
Brilliant satire by Shraddha Jain on the political language war and language chauvinism!
Clean, healthy, bait-free, trigger-free, abuse-free standup comedy! A rarity these days! 👌🏽
@AmorimEra_ That’s utter load of rubbish. We have spend top dollar on average players and finished 15th. Spending big money does not guarantee success. MUFC is a prime example of that.
