Happiness Within
by Ramana Maharishi
“All thoughts are sorrowful, because thoughts take one’s attention away from the Self, which is undiluted Happiness.” [1]
“If you have any desires or attachments, thoughts about them will be constantly appearing in the mind.
You cannot fight them because they thrive on the attention you give them. If you try to repress them, you can only do it by giving them attention. And that means identifying with the mind. This method never works. You can only stop the flow of thoughts by refusing to have any interest in it.” [2]

(From ‘Guru Ramana’ by S.S.Cohen [1] and ‘Living by the Words of Bhagavan’ by David Godman [2))
The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
