Question: "Please explain the nature of worldly and divine happiness"
Anandamayi Ma: "Divine happiness is pure, unalloyed bliss, happiness in
its own right."
"But surely, there is happiness in the world too!"
"Then why do you make this remark"?
"Why do people run after material happiness?"
"You know this happiness from experience, and hence your question.
But God is gracious and makes you see that this so-called happiness
is not happiness. He kindles discontent and anguish in you, which is due
to the want of communion with the Divine. Worldly happiness is from
the countless manifestations of God. People talk and marvel about those
who renounce the world, but in actual fact it is yourself who have renounced
everything. What is "everything"? God! Leaving Him aside, everyone is
literally practicing supreme renunciation. (Laughter). It is only natural that
the sense of want should awaken. Even in the midsts of comfort and pleasures
one feels homesick in a foreign land. There is distress even in happiness,
one's possessions are not really one's own--this is what He causes man to feel.
It is said, is it not, that on being hit one recovers one's senses, one learns
by receiving blows.
When he manifests Himself as worldly happiness, one does not feel contented,
for along with it He appears as the sense of want. But divine happiness,
even the tiniest particle of a grain of it, never leaves one again; and when
one attains to the essence of things and finds one's Self--this is supreme happiness.
When it is found, nothing else remains to be found; the sense of want
will not awaken anymore, and the heart's torment will be stilled forever.
Do not be satisfied with fragmentary happiness, which is invariably interrupted
by shocks and blows of fate; but become complete, and having attained to
perfection, be YOURSELF.
