GIVING HAPPINESS
Once a group of 50 people were attending a seminar.
Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving each one a balloon.
Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen.
Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes.
Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomaly select a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The speaker began, "this is exactly what's happening in our lives.
Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people...
Give them their happiness and you will find your own happiness."
In this day and age just to see others happy shows the signs of a beautiful, loving soul. Making people happy is a lot more difficult. It can only happen through sincere love of oneness with ones self.
Seeing others happy definitely makes us happy but remember, we have to be happy and joyful within in order to spread and make others feel happy.
One only becomes happy and remains happy when they recognise themselves. Once they have realised who they are and found their inner self through meditation on naam, they will effortlessly make others happy.
Bhai Gurdaas Ji Says, "Bholu, Bhatu and Tivari gave happiness to others and were known as the Sikhs of the court of the True Guru."
Vaheguroo!
