We hear our
own echoes and our own reflected images
=Pt.ShriRam

Happiness
is normally sought in worldly objects, relationships, incidents and
circumstances. Such a search is misplaced.
Had
this been true, people who possessed ample resources and who did not have to
face any adversities, should have been always happy and satisfied. On the other
hand, people who are poor and who are living against heavy odds should all have
been unhappy. Happiness is an attitude of mind, which is determined by a
persons viewpoint towards life.
A
person endowed with true humility has an attitude of glad acceptance of all
that life brings to him; and this is what self-refinement and
self-transcendence mean. More a person cultivates this attribute, happier he
will be.
One
who has the habit of faultfinding, negativity and seeing evil in others will
remain a captive of this self-destructive attitude regardless of favorable
circumstances as for as outer life is concerned. It is like dirtying ones own
clothes by himself throwing mud on them. On the other hand, mind can definitely
be so trained as to see the good, even though covered, in all persons and
situations. It is ones own echo that is returned by the dome.
A ball
thrown against the wall rebounds to the place from where it was thrown. It is
ones own personality that is reflected by others and gives pleasant or
unpleasant impressions accordingly. That is why this world has been given the
analogy of a mirror. The mirror honestly reflects the image of the view.
