Swami Chinmayananda - on happiness


To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness.

The tragedy of human history is decreasing happiness in the midst of
increasing comforts.

He who depends on chances and situations to be happy, is a Sansari (one
who lives a worldly life. Sanyasi is the one who has renounced worldly
life)

Happiness depends on what you can give, Not on what you can get.

Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket.

The cultured give happiness wherever they go . The uncultured whenever
they go.

Everyone points to the other man, who, according to him, is happier.
But the only one, who has
the courage to declare that he is truly happy, is he who has
relinquished all his passions and
hungers from within.

- Swami Chinmayananda 1916-1993
