“I can give honest answer and I can give you an honest answer?”

I can give honest answer and I can give you an honest answer? Or you need socially polite? No? You need an actual honest answer? There is no such thing as happiness. That's the honest answer. Maybe when there is a gap between suffering you call that as happiness. If you are beaten less number of times by the society and the surroundings, you call that as happiness. It is just a comparative drama. There is only two thing in the planet Earth one is suffering, another one is bliss. Understand bliss, bliss has a positive existence like a light. Suffering has a negative existence as a darkness - darkness has no positive existence. Understand.

Light-lessness is darkness. So, bliss-lessness is suffering. So bliss is positive existence, suffering has negative existence - means it does not exist. When there is no bliss - suffering. The joy or happiness is a comparative reality. For something can be happy for that - something can lead you to happiness - but the same thing can lead the other person into suffering. So happiness is just a comparative reality - the comparative drama. It is only a comparative reality - it is not an existential reality.

Please understand, happiness is not existential reality - so according to My experience there is no such thing as happiness. Either you have suffering or you have bliss. When you have less suffering you just give little courage to yourself - you need to justify your existence; you see. So, that is the reason you just tell yourself or console yourself, "I have happiness." That is, you see, see all the moments of happiness just inquire - inquire them. I have seen these guys - these people they will go for some vacation, picnic they will take big, big pictures. They will not enjoy at that moment - that thing - nature in front of them. They will take pictures and come back to the home and after two years see, “In those days when we went for honeymoon in the picnic you see how happy we were?" These guys forget that they only shouted “cheese” and they posed a smile for the photograph.

See, when the photograph itself was taken - these guys shouted “cheese” and they all smiled 'eeeh', and the photograph was taken. After 2 years they forget It was forced smile. When they were in that space exactly in that spot the - what they think the joy was was not there. See, after two years when they look back what fantasy they have, "Oh, two years ago when we went there it was such a great joy." But when they were there, actually that experience itself was not there. So the photograph was posed. Just look your life, anything you claim as happiness you think as happiness is only the fantasy or the memory which is little better than the present. When you can't tolerate the present. You just attribute little joy to the past and hope that same past can be repeated in the future and pull your life, drag your life.

That's all is the definition for happiness. If I have to say in one sentence: it is just nothing but trying to reproduce the hope about of the past into the future - into the future. Please Understand, neither the hope which you care - which you have about the - or the experience of the past nor the hope you can't reproduce in the future is going to be reality. Drop that and drop this - drop your idea of happiness about idea of happiness in the past and drop the hope to reproduce the same thing in the future - suddenly you will find bliss in your being. Your idea you had happiness in the past - your idea you can have that same happiness in the future; both which is not there but which gives you the idea as if it is there is what I call Maya.

It was not there but you have an idea it was there. It is never going to be reproduced but you have a hope, it can be reproduced - this is what I call Maya. If you can relax from both - suddenly you will see the reality itself is such an ecstasy. The Prana going inside your body and making you alive and coming out of your body is existence - that is a great joy, a Leela. You are the part of Cosmic Leela - you are the part Cosmic play. Suddenly you will see when you remember you are part of the Cosmic play you feel that you are blessed - you are needed - you are here out of a reason or necessity. You are not an accident. You will feel your life is a needed and it is a fulfillment and it is a great ecstasy. So, let you all just understand and remember these few things.
