Joy is your nature
The happiness which we know is not real and it is not our own also. It depends on others and circumstances. It comes and goes. When it goes, it leave us in more pain.
Joy and happiness are not same. Like Sunshine to sun, joy is to us. Very natural.
It is not something to be attained. It has no opposite. It is not the normal kind of happiness we know through events and experiences. Joy is being untouched by events and experiences. t's called by sages as bliss. This is our own. Nobody can give us and nobody can take it away from us.
Joy appears to be lost because we are chasing happiness. The chase is pain. And, we foolishly chase it from things that are not stable. Once the thing goes, our happiness also goes.
Who told that we are not fine as we are, but need something to be happy?
Is it really so? Is it not mere a thought believed in?
Somebody sent an enquiry to me after reading the post.
Where is Joy? What is Joy? When is Joy?
Is it in watching the rain? in the smile of a child? a sea side view? Being with loved ones? She was very curious to know how it would be like to be Joyful.
You can not bring "Joy" under your microscope because it is hiding under your eyes.You can identify only which is not joy. So, Do not try to find "Joy". Just stop your chase.
I want happiness - From this sentence remove "I" and "want", what remains is Happiness.
Your sadhana is to eliminate "I" and "want". Joy is already there.
