'If you want to be happy, be happy', this is very famous statement of Leo Tolstoy. Actually no one is stopping us from being happy. There was one beggar who would seat on wooden box and beg, one day no one gave him a single penny and he was really frustrated. By seeing his condition one gentleman approached to him, Berger thought now he will give me some money. But man asked him, 'have you ever opened this box?' He replied, 'no, why should I open the old wooden box, I am using it for seating'. On the order of man beggar opened the box and he found chunk of gold which solved his problems and made him rich. This is our condition too...we are also having happiness within us but we are searching it outside just like a beggar.
To become happy is goal of life everyone is trying for that. People earn more money, try to get more properties, they work hard to ultimately become happy. It's said, spiritualist takes pleasure in own self whereas materialist searches for pleasure outside. We are responsible for our own happiness if we depend upon others we will always be disappointed. Comparing with others, trying to impress others are some of the things which steals our happiness, let's be ourselves only don't compare, everyone individual is different with different sets of skills, each one of us is very special creation of God, just realise that and be grateful to Him, grateful heart is happy heart.
It's said,'happiness doesn't depend upon anything except our mental attitude'. Happiness is reflected on face and body but it's actually state of heart, when the heart is content then automatically one is happy. But when heart is not content even though everything is provided to it, it will miserable, just see happy people are not always rich and vice a versa.
How to make heart happy?, Gita says(BG 2.66),"One who is not connected with the Supreme [in Kṛṣṇa consciousness] can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace?", it's so simple to understand that there is no possibility of happiness unless one is connected to the God. Just like when fish is in connection with river it feels comfortable similarly when a soul comes in connection with the super soul it experiences real happiness. The best way to connect to God in this age is to chant His names sincerely because God has invested all His potencies in His names, also it's said that one who chants God's name his transcendental happiness increases at everystep and he can experience the nectarine bliss. In conclusion happiness is not something very rare or esoteric thing but it's really accessible if one has proper guidance to obtain it. So let's not waste our time but be happy immediately by gaining connection with Krishna by simple process of chanting His names!!
