Divinity in Happiness
Enjoying Haappiness and Pleasure and being away from sorrows and worriness are the natural condition of a human being, what it aspires for. But how to be happy is a great question for everbody to get the answer. Most of the people search for the happiness around them according to their material possession status and few try to get the happiness through their spiritual progression.
Apart from those two, many people try to derive happiness from acquisition of knowledge, looking beautiful, creating impact in the socity, being admired by all etc.etc. But, such wishes are landed at the point of competition to look better, to know more and to create impact. Such competitions slowly take us away from the natural objective of life of enjoying happiness and create confusions.
Many people work hard to get name and fame in the society and try to get happiness through that. But they become victim of jealousy, in tolerance, leg pulling etc., which demotivates them from working hard and force them to lead a routine life. But few of them love to expose themselves to the challenges, invite criticism for their deeds. Their basic objective is the search for the truth, doing good for all and they want to refine their journey through such systems.
Some try to get the happiness through love, loving their parents, spouse and children in family, spending hours of the day with them, interacting with them. The pervasiveness of love connects them to eternal happiness. But over possessiveness, insecurity of loosing the relationships brings difficulties and worries.
According to Mandukyopanisad “Visva always gets the exposure to gross exernal objects, the Teijasa of the subtle objects and the prajna of Ananda, which eplains that atman gets the experience in three ways. So their satisfaction also is of three kinds. The gross objects satisfy the Viswa Atman, the subtle satisfy the Tejasa and the enjoyment of bliss satisfy the prajna. A person, who understands the Atman, its threefold experiences and objects to satisfy is not driven by the false momentary pleasure. It is not elated or depressed after enjoying the goodness and beauties. It remains like fire.
Prajna is the key for manifestation of soul in different forms and getting happiness. According to some spiritual thinkers, world is etension of Power of God and it is continuing with mercy of God. Prajna for spirituality is the real form happiness. The duality of movable and immovable exists in mind, when we realise its importance in absent mindedness.
Knowledge is Brahman, which is devoid of imagination and unborn. Brhman is like sun, which is self effulgent, and devoid of any other knowledge in and around. Humans when they think they are immortal, they are happy, they get the courage to search for the truth. That Search itself is bliss and devine.
A group of researchers in Europe wanted to experiment that the Belief on God, whether it can bring positivity in chronic patients. They found that all the god believers are recovering fast and are motivated to fight with the desease. Others are learning through it .
Tibatian Monk Dalai Lama says “ Happiness is not something ready made, it comes from your own actions. “ According to him, good deeds bring happiness and happiness brings divinity.
According to Mahatma Gandhi “ Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony. “ Which means there should be co-ordination between mind, heart and action for getting the success.
Life is the creation of the mind and heart. The thoughts, the feels, the dreams, the beliefs are the reflections of life. Connectednes with divinity can give real happiness and peace of mind. The serenity, the calmness created out of this helps for manifestation of universal love and happiness.
Happiness creates the divinity and divinity creates godliness.

Divine Happiness is a virtue that is sought by all.
Yet, it is destined for few.
Falsely believed to be inherent in possession of material goods, name, fame, status in society, & satisfaction of our ego.
Divine Happiness is beyond the grasp & understanding of most people in the world.
Experiencing Divine Happiness depends completely on the belief, thinking process & understanding of an individual.
Divine Happiness can be experienced by truly desiring it.
It comes from within, when we understand its true meaning & worth.
Selfishness, the pursuit of material & transitory goods & beliefs, negative feelings, anger, greed & other emotions & habits suppress the Divine Happiness to efface from within ourselves.
Abandoning negative feelings, denying our ego to avoid its inflation & pride, seeking & recognising the good & worthiness of all human beings & above all, realising the blessings that has been showered on us by Almighty are some ways in which we can realise our real goals in life.
Divine Happiness is above all other happiness.
While ego & want satisfaction may lead to temporary joy & happiness, it fails to last.
Divine Happiness is permanent & when achieved engulfs us, enabling us to face every sorrow, misfortune & set-back in our lives with increased vigour, faith in God & confidence.
The pursuit of truth, self-denial when loving our loved ones, righteousness, kindness, & other virtues leads us on to the path of Divine Happiness.
Real happiness is ingrained in acts which are made for the good of others even if it requires sacrifice in some way by us.
Divine Happiness is what truly happiness means.
Distinct from the ordinary joys experienced by changes in our lives.
Divine Happiness is permanent & the most beautiful virtue that we can experience in this world.
For being happy for ever, that is what counts as real & Divine Happiness.
Thanks

Highly appreciated comment that suits the truly narrated Article.
In a nutshell, the purified outcome of the elite Article can be defined as, "one is fully responsible for one's own sorrow or happiness." One has to work out to be happy for ever.
Salute to the hidden idea and ideology that each sentence guides for a better and brighter tomorrow.

Thank you for such divine write ups.
Infinite Eternal Consciousness (Siva) who is beyond time-space manifest dark energy and dark matter in the time-space continuum – this is a precursor (bedrock) on which all celestial objects including stars/ sun are manifested.
Planet Earth floating in the ocean of sunlight sustains bio diversity(life) through an abundant supply of air(oxygen), water and food.
Consciousness(Siva) is the common thread binding and holding all this reality together.
Pleasure/ happiness/ pain in the physical mental plain (and Gravity in the physical material plain) is actually a derivative of Ananda (Divine Bliss/ Love) in the spiritual plain.
