How to balance spirituality and everyday life for inner joy
Happiness or joy is intrinsic. It is within us. It is inner joy, always. Happiness is not just an emotion, rather, it is a state of being. Therefore, one cannot 'become happy' but one must 'be happy'. One cannot find happiness in external things like materialism, people and relationships. The happiness that one gains with these is pleasure, a temporary form of feeling happiness. It is ephemeral. It will be a fleeting feeling that will come and go away in no time. But the happiness that one experiences innately, by being in a state of Consciousness is everlasting and eternal.
