Do you wish pleasure or Joy?
Another weekend I got a phone call from my friend who has 2 month old baby .She said that she became sick and her family people are out of town for their work. So I went to her home and cooked some food for her and took care of her baby .Then I came back home. I felt little tired .I slept at the night. Then next day,I have done my usual routine with the happy of fulfillment..That happy is not same as the happy of watching movie but some thing more than that. What is that?
Yes .In my life I have recognized three kinds of happiness.
Spot time happiness
When I eat my favorite cake, I feel happy. I will enjoy and eat. At that moment it gives some happy. This happy depends on people and mood. This happiness might be vary with respect to the genetic happiness level.
Satisfaction happiness
When I bake cake for my family and When my kids said 'Amma your cake is awesome' then I feel satisfactory happiness. That is really different than the spot time happiness.
Deep happiness
Once I baked cake to give homeless people .That time I felt one kind of happy feeling from inside .That is Deep Happiness. This is real Joy. This not temporary. No one can take our joy without our permission.
Joy is the beautiful of life. When our mind is filled with love then joy will follow us like our shadow. Joy is love ,kind, patient ,strength, fuel. We could find our joy in our home, work and our society. When you give happiness to others ,god will you gift of joy. Our life will be straightened by the curve of smile.
In my perception,
When you give happiness to others, then god will you the gift of joy.
All the very best for getting god's gift!
Time to Think: How you are spending your most of the time to get joy or happy of pleasure?
