Happiness

सुख

What is happiness, and why does it keep slipping away?

Core answer

A proposal to examine

Human beings are naturally सुखधर्मी: happiness is the innate state of a conscious self in resolution. What blocks it is not circumstance, but inner contradiction, while happiness, peace, contentment and bliss are the outcomes of harmony within consciousness. The question is not how to get happiness, but what lack of understanding is preventing it.

Reflection

Before deciding what would make today happier, consider what inner contradiction might already be in the way.
