Poems on happiness<\/strong> by Sri Chinmoy<\/p>\n

Do you want to be always happy?
\nThen give up fighting
\nFor negativity
\nAnd learn the beautiful art
\nOf self-encouragement.<\/div>\n

1<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

You want to end your unhappiness.
\nI tell you, there is one way
\nTo end your unhappiness,
\nAnd that is to end your constant feeling
\nOf unpleasant unworthiness.<\/div>\n

2<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

To be truly happy
\nYou must do two things:
\nYou must overlook
\nThe imperfection-evenings of others;
\nYou must look over
\nYour own imperfection-nights.<\/div>\n

3<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The problem with fault-finding
\nIs that he who finds fault with others
\nIs in no way a happy person
\nEven after he has successfully
\nAccomplished his task.<\/div>\n

4<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Be happy, be happy!
\nUnless you are happy,
\nYour outer life will not succeed
\nAnd your inner life will not proceed.<\/div>\n

5<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

He is happy,
\nBecause every day he tries to do
\nAnd actually does
\nA little more than he thinks he can.<\/div>\n

6<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

True happiness
\nIs not a mental hallucination.
\nTrue happiness
\nIs not a complacent feeling.
\nTrue happiness
\nIs the spontaneous feeling of joy
\nThat comes from knowing
\nYou are doing the right thing
\nAnd leading a divine life.<\/div>\n

7<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I am happy because I always choose the right moment.
\nI am happy because I am a good listener.
\nI am happy because I keep my voice down.
\nI am happy because I do not try to convince others.
\nI am happy because I do not complain.
\nI am happy because I have realised that the most important thing in my life is,
\nSelf-improvement.
\nI am happy because I unreservedly accentuate the good in others.
\nI am happy because I have considerably cut down on my desiring needs.
\nI am happy because I follow my thought-control program every day.
\nI am happy because I never quit.
\nI am happy because every day I offer my heart of gratitude to the Supreme.
\nI am happy because a daily prayer of mine is:<\/p>\n

\u201cO my Beloved Supreme,
\nDo transform the world
\nStarting with me, my life, my all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Happiness<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we can cry with the human in us
\nWhen the human in us cries,
\nThen there is happiness.
\nIf we can smile with the divine in us
\nWhen the divine in us smiles,
\nThen there is happiness.
\nHappiness is in identification;
\nHappiness is in oneness-reality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

9<\/a><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I am happy<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe everybody;
\nTherefore
\nI am happy.
\nI love everybody;
\nTherefore
\nI am happy.
\nI think of God every day, everywhere;
\nTherefore I am happy.
\nI am happy, I am always happy
\nBecause
\nHeaven lives for the cries of my heart
\nAnd Earth lives for the smiles of my soul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You will be happy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minimise your wants,

\nFulfil your needs,
\nYou will be happy.
\nDivinise your thoughts,
\nYou will be happy.
\nImmortalise your faith,
\nYou will be happy.
\nRectify your mistakes,

\nIntensify your cry,
\nYou will be happy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Happiness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happiness, happiness!
\nMy dear friend, happiness,
\nMy unparalleled friend, happiness!
\nYou help me to defy death’s existence.
\nYou help me to purify sorrow’s presence.
\nYou help me to strengthen my weakness.
\nYou help me to enlighten my strength.
\nYou help me to see the face
\nOf promise-dawn.
\nYou help me to feel the heart
\nOf satisfaction-moon.
\nYou help me to lead
\nThe human in me.
\nYou help me to feed
\nThe divine in me.
\nYou help me to fulfil
\nThe Supreme in me.
\nMy Eternity’s friend, happiness,
\nYou were, you are
\nAnd you shall forever remain
\nMy Eternity’s only true friend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
