Writing a book on Spirituality,YOGA & Meditation
One of my students asked me the other day why I haven't started writing a book on yoga & meditation?
That really got me thinking, why not? However, I do teach yoga and help people to cleanse themselves from the inside, it's probably a great idea to expand my horizon and in turn it would help a lot of them out there. Before I finalise each chapter I'll be posting them here so I can get a good review on it. I am sure that you guys are going to help me with this.
Chapter 1 : IN SEARCH OF HAPPINESS
The the whole world is seeking happiness. who doesn't wanna be happy?
different things make different people happy, but ultimately while we all may be seeking different things the final goal of humanity seems to be happiness.
what is happiness? while the question is very simple the answer is profound. though the question is one the answer are many.this is because happiness is different for different people!
happiness is a state of mind expressing itself with emotions of cheer, joy and excitement. it is a feeling that makes one's heart dance and eyes twinkle. A happy person smiles just like an unhappy person shows sorrow in his face. So, while different people define their happiness in different words the emotion that is born in all is the same.it is a strong feeling of joy pleasure contentment and fulfilment.
Everybody wants to be happy. But how does one become happy? while different things create happiness most of it is fulfilling of an expectation, a millionaire could be happy making his next million, A singer is joyous when the audience applauds. While there are different reasons to be happy for different people it is mostly unfulfilled expectations that lead to misery.

Interesting! Happiness is a difficult one. If you read Victor Frankls "The search for meaning" You will get a very nice POV. He says that if you want to be happy, don't aim for happiness. Happiness is a happening of other actions. Like Gratefulness, selflessness, exercise aswell. Happiness is something you will miss if you aim at it. That is my point of view which was inspired by Victor Frankl. Really good book btw.
"Happiness is a happening of other actions." very well said, I do believe in the same, there is so much left to write in this chapter I am sure you will like it :) and thank you for the reference I'll look into it and I'm pretty sure it's amazing!
You're welcome. Also Eckhart Tolle and Alan Watts might interest you. Alan Watts was amazing. Also funny!
I'll definitely take a look, humour indeed is the best way to reach someone :D
