When you ‘separate’ yourself from ‘others’ you feel ‘isolated’. Be one with Nature—and you will be happy. Modern civilisation is aggressive and develops ‘superiority complex’ which makes one feel ‘isolated’. All isolation is unhappiness.
Try each day to realise your unity with the human and the animal, your kinship with the plant and the rock. The sun, the moon and the stars, the earth, the water, the wind, the fire, and the sky are not aliens. You belong to them: they belong to you. Enter into unity with them.
Therefore, go into silence every day. One of the disciplines to achieve happiness is silence.
In periods of silence, you develop the sense of wonder. Wonder is the beginning of knowledge, and wisdom ends in wonder. In periods of silence you feel that you live and move in mystery.
If you would be happy, you must make your life an experience of gratitude. Yes—in gratitude you adore the Mystery that surrounds you, and in this adoration you feel happy.
And coming out of silence you work in love. Your life becomes a procession of love. In loving dedication of all you have, and all you are, to the service of Love is the secret of the happiness which the world cannot give and cannot take away!
