Who does not want to be happy? Is there any in the 7 billion that does not want to?
However, in practical experience we find limitations to this happiness we feel. The most important limitation is the ‘time”. Human happiness is always short-lived – sometimes it lasts only minutes. Occasionally it may last a few hours. Rarely it might last a day or few days. Almost never can it last a life time!
Contrast this with the perpetual state of happiness that we can live in another world - “That world” to be precise!
In “that world” we achieve equanimity with the Creator of all these Universes, in several factors – The most outstanding of them being the quality of happiness we experience.
However much we try, as long as we live in this world, in this human body, we cannot know, or estimate even to the nearest billion the quality of the happiness we would experience in “that world”. The human body is precisely the limitation to happiness in this world!
Neither the richest man in this world, nor the poorest man, neither the happiest man, nor the saddest man, just nobody on earth can ever, at any time of their present or future lives, imagine what the happiness in “that world” is like!
All the happiness we experience in this world is nothing compared to “that happiness”!
Here is an approximate comparison of happiness of the various beings:
Human Happiness < Happiness of Demi-gods (E.g. Indira, Varuna, Shiva etc.) by a factor of over a million
Happiness of Demi-gods (Indira, Varuna, Shiva etc.) < Happiness of secondary creator (Four-faced Brahma) by a factor of over a million
Secondary Creator’s Happiness <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<… The Creator’s Happiness or the happiness we get to experience in “that world”!
The experience of happiness in “that world” is simply incomparable.
We have to reach “that world” in order to experience “that happiness”
There is only one path that can take us to “that world”. It is called “that path”.
The key that opens the doors to “that path” is meditating on the primary cause of the Universe. The Creator is the primary cause of all the universes.
In order to create the various universes obtained the material from His own Body!
The Creator is the doer of the creation – so He took material from him own body and from it made several universes, in one of which we live.
He created all the tools and equipment that He used to assist him in this creation from His own Body.
Therefore, everything we can see in this universe, and cannot see in this universe, and other universes, including matter, space, air, land, water, black matter, black energy, primordial matter from which the scientists say 14 billion years ago this universe was created out of a Big Bang, - all of them form nothing but a miniscule part of His Body – perhaps one hair and nothing more!
So Huge He Is!
“That World” is thrice as large as the size of the all the manifest universes put together! Therefore it is large enough to hold all the residents of the all the universes He has created!
The Lord, the creator of all these universes is the only source that can open the doors for us to walk “that path”
He opens the doors for us to walk “that path” when we meditate sufficiently on Him.
We must plead with Him and please Him with our effort before He will open the doors for us.
Vedas are the body of knowledge He has given us. He created them before he started Creation. In that body of knowledge he has detailed how we should live, and what pleases Him.
If we go on ignoring this body of knowledge, how can we expect to walk “that path” to reach “that world” and experience “that happiness”. On the contrary, if we do not live by commandments enshrined in that body of knowledge, how could we expect him to become pleased!
To live our daily life in compliance with the commandments enshrined in that body of knowledge is called Karma Yoga.
Our ancient perceptors and forefathers have interpreted that body of knowledge and extracted what is relevant for our daily life and provided easy to follow instructions on how we should live our daily life in compliance with the commandments enshrined in the body of knowledge.
These instructions include, but not limited to, performing Sandhyavandan three times a day, performing Brahma Yagna once a day, performing Kandarishi Tarpanam once a day, performing Pitru Tarpanam on Amavasya and other days dedicated to pitrus, respecting and remembering our acharyas every day, refraining from telling lies at all times, refraining from doing anything the body of knowledge has forbidden us from doing at all times etc.
The body of knowledge is non-discriminatory in that it does not discriminate on nationality, caste, creed, color, race, etc. These instructions are applicable to all of human-kind irrespective of country and religion one is born into!
This blog also does not discriminate its reader on nationality, religion, caste, creed, color, race etc. I share this for the benefit of all of human-kind.

May all living beings in all the universes created by the one and only Creator Lord Narayana, live happily and in peace ever after!
