How to be happy and how to feel happier in life. This podcast workshop is on the nature of Happiness & Sadness and it covers: How do we internalise the causes of our own pain Causes of sadness and suffering How to be aware of your own thoughts What are the indicators of spiritual progress How our desires cause suffering How to stop blaming others for your unhappiness 00:00 - Intro 03:48 – Common myths about suffering 05:53 – What is the ideal spiritual scenario 08:21 – Common causes of our own suffering 22:53 – Solutions to suffering Myths we live with We cannot help moving between these two feelings as it is a normal & healthy part of life Pleasure is better than pain Pain and pleasure are independent opposites and not linked to each other Gurmat tries to create conscious humans - actively aware of their thoughts, so the goal is To reach a neutral state of bliss to all circumstances and situations in life. Constant tranquillity or 'sehaj' (not the same as excitement or happiness) Is this possible - yes, this is how you should judge/asses our own progress. Causes of suffering Desires (I want = I don't have) Ownership Body-mind identity Ownership of possessions and people Delusions of permanence Death - we say things like "I lost my father" Control People should act how I want them to. Everyone acts according to his or her own conditioning. Solutions Choose not to focus on the negative Suffering and anger continues as long as you keep narrating the same story to yourself Your mood immediately changes when someone calls or rings the doorbell Music is an instant mood-changer. The past is not your reality now "I cannot change past but I choose happiness now" Be impartial to everything Don't prioritise pleasures over suffering. All pleasures received in the past have faded, leaving you wanting more (so pleasures lead to desires and suffering) Don't judge anything or anyone's actions as good or bad In hukam there are only occurrences These labels only reflect how they affect us. Predict unpredictability Let go of expectations Expect the unexpected Anticipate and get comfortable with the ever-changing nature of reality. Treat Praise and Criticism equally When you are criticised - think about how that can serve you? (Fareeda burrai da bhalla kar) Live in gratitude and grace Focus on what you have and not what you don't have ਦਸ ਬਸਤੂ ਲੇ ਪਾਛੈ ਪਾਵੈ ॥ He obtains ten things, and puts them behind him; ਏਕ ਬਸਤੁ ਕਾਰਨਿ ਬਿਖੋਟਿ ਗਵਾਵੈ ॥ for the sake of one thing withheld, he forfeits his faith. ਏਕ ਭੀ ਨ ਦੇਇ ਦਸ ਭੀ ਹਿਰਿ ਲੇਇ ॥ But what if that one thing were not given, and the ten were taken away? ਤਉ ਮੂੜਾ ਕਹੁ ਕਹਾ ਕਰੇਇ ॥ Then, what could the fool say or do? Start to use the 'Thank-you' mantra Treat each moment as a gift Bahuta Karam Likhiya Na Jae, Vadda Daataa Til Na Tamaee - Japji Sahib We believe everyone should know and experience spiritual bliss for themselves.
