It is difficult to find a person who would not dream of being happy. But the concept of happiness is different for everyone. Is there a universal recipe that allows you not only to feel happy, but to experience truly boundless happiness? The answer to this question can be found in ancient eastern treatises.
Why are so many people unhappy? The reason is that happiness is conditional for them. Someone will say that he will be happy if he meets a loved one. For the other, happiness lies in the prestigious well-paid job, for the third - in the opportunity to travel. There can be many options, and always for happiness a person needs to get something, acquire, achieve something.
Unconditional happiness
Can happiness be unconditioned? Yes, many spiritual teachings speak of this. Moreover, only unconditional happiness can be truly vast and inexhaustible.
The most important quality of unconditioned happiness is that it does not need anything for existence - it simply is. Moreover, it comes from within and completely fills, floods a person. Such happiness only intensifies over time, which in itself seems to be something fantastic.
However, people who have achieved this condition claim that there is nothing fantastic or unusual in it. On the contrary, they believe that this is precisely the state in which each person is supposed to be. Some even argue that the notorious biblical fall, after which a person was expelled from Paradise, is a veiled description of a person losing his state of initial unconditional happiness.
