Happiness


"Happiness and enjoyment of life are the highest expressions of individual intelligence, liberty and fulfillment of life. Happiness is likely to be the most important single objective of tomorrow's civilization, when mankind at long last will ask itself again these long-neglected questions: Why are we on earth? What do we expect from life? How can we maximize these precious years with which we are blessed? These are the basic questions. And the answers are: to live optimum physical, mental, moral, and spiritual lives, to open ourselves to others, to aggrandize ourselves through others, to listen to the great voices of nature and the universe, to perceive the unknown, to live in unison and love with all that is on the earth and in the heavens, to pray, to meditate, to know one's inner world, to extend one's heart and mind into the infinite heart and humankind, to live fully and passionately our life, to let the world and the people enter in great wondrous streams, to be thrilled at life, to be part of life, deeply, intensely, consciously, as we are indeed in flesh, in brain and in feeling.
