Looking For Happiness?


Everybody seeks happiness.

Although it is not often noticed that seeking itself is precisely the activity that veils the very happiness that is being sought.

When it is seen clearly that happiness is not to be found in any particular object, state or circumstance, a deep relaxation takes place.

This relaxation leaves us at the threshold of another possibility.

This possibility is felt as an invitation from an unknown and yet strangely familiar direction.

It is a call to return to our true home...

... the source of happiness.
