Bhagavad Gita says about Happiness ‘one who is not connected with God can neither have steady mind nor transcendental intelligence which means their no possibility of peace in their life’.
One who is happy lives the moment of every second, doesn’t worries about past or future. Lives every second, you feel every second. The things you like most, you didn’t think about time and situation. But when you are doing things in which you are not interested, every second seems impossible to live.
Types of Happiness
1. Happiness in mode of Goodness ( Sattvik) :
When we work for the higher goal and not for temporary flinching happiness . In starting we might control our senses , mind , follow rules and regulations but in end we get to taste nectar.
Example : when we do meditation, Yoga , and reading scriptures . In starting we may not like but when we continue to do. We attain the position where we get the nectar out of it and other material happiness cannot be compared of.
2. Happiness in mode of passion (Rajasik) :
Examples like do whatever our Mind says and fulfill senses to the extent and not focused on long term goal and happiness . This will happiness for sure but that will be very flinching and in end this will give suffering.
3. Happiness in mode of ignorance (Tamasik) :
Laziness , Sleep , Hurting others , Uncleanliness habits, lie all comes under this category . This might seems that this is giving happiness but we are in complete illusion. Neither these things give happiness while engaging in them nor in the end. So try to restrain from these activities. But one out of illusion only think that he is in happiness.
