All of us have several strings of stories intertwined in minds , about places and faces of people who are like withering memories.

Every setback in life , every painful memory or every sad association makes us learn something in life, instead of taking life just for its face value. 

We live in our mortal coils riding in the ebbs and flows of our lives. 

Moments of solitude teach us that our only best friend is silence, helping us evaluate ourselves as we follow the trail of   accumulated memories .

We learn and evaluate. Evaluate and learn .

Someone asked what the greatest happiness in the world was.

Someone said being in love . Someone said motherhood. Someone said learning. Someone said freedom. 

But all this is able to rub its magic only momentarily . It does not make us float and sway in unshaking happiness forever.

The very idea of happiness and misery is the cause of all the chaos in our lives. We go after happiness and end up being miserable.

Do away with both of them.

The greatest happiness is selflessly striving for the well being and happiness of others. 

The spark of joy that crawls from the heart and gives us a glimpse through the window of a person's eyes is the greatest joy in the world. 

When we work selflessly for the divine in everyone , we forget ourselves. Neither are we perturbed by the idea of happiness or the thought of unexpected misery.

In this way when we give away the most coveted thing of all , happiness , to one and all not thinking about ourselves we will have tried to give the world something incredible , which each one of us are capable but are completely unaware of - love.

Instead of sulking and going down the spiral and thinking that life has become stagnant and that there is no hope , Rise , take a deep breadth and imagine the wonders we humans are capable of .

The spark of joy
