Am I heading towards Gnanodaya ?

"When I succeed I have a tendency to find out the people who supported and guided all through. When I  Fail I have a tendency to find out the people who pushed me towards it ................. Yes, now find some change in the way I look at all this. Now I seem to be realizing that I am responsible for all that which keeps happening to me. I think I am slowly and steadily that the way I take the after effects of success or failure is totally mine.
I dont know whether this is Gnanodaya or groping further into darkness. There are many things in my life for which I firmly think I am responsible. There are many more things in my life for which I am not at all responsible. But all that matters.
If  you think I am confused, it may me. The fact is that I continue to be so honest about my confusion. It is not important whether I am confused or clear, what is important to me is that I am so clear about my confusion. "

How real is a thing known as HAPPINESS......?

Every one undoubtedly wants to be happy in life. It is undoubtedly true that if any one has not experienced pain and unhappiness, it next to impossible to experience happiness and bliss.  One cannot experience and  appreciate light if one has never experienced darkness and shade and vice versa. The truth is "if some gets every thing that that one thinks would make one happy with....... it is sure such a person can never never b happy. Because happiness is not dependent on a fixed set of pre-conditions. Happiness has direct link with not having something and having something. Happiness has lot to do with inequality, and imbalance in society, There are 100 flats in a  complex. Every family one owns a Mercedes. The last family of d complex when buys a Mercedes, would temporarily seems to b happy... The happiness is so momentary, n within few days d charm n glamour  of owning n driving a Mercedes is gone in air. If every one around is HAPPY,   that means for sure, no one is happy. Differentiation n discrimination is a precondition for one to feel happy. ........ HOW LONG ONE COULD CONTINUE TO BE HAPPY WITH A FAVORABLE SITUATION, ADVANTAGEOUS SITUATION. IS IT REALLY A THING OR ONLY AN INTANGIBLE  N UNACCOUNTABLE MOOD N FEELING.

Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness. ~Robertson Davies


Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad. ~Norm Papernick


I don't think you can feel a sense of entitlement and still be happy. Happiness always comes from feeling that you've been blessed. ~Robert Brault,rbrault.blogspot.com


Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it. ~Fyodor Dostoevsky


What a wonderful life I’ve had! I only wish I’d realized it sooner. ~Colette


The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. ~James Openheim


Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open. ~John Barrymore
