Happiness is inside me?

Question

no it's not i haven't been happy since i was at least eighteen or nineteen. i've only occasionally felt good but not happy. i read that statement on a dumb blog or something. i recently realised i've been miserable since i graduated. the only thing i have to be proud of is my diploma from school. and medications just mask the problems once you stop them the depression comes back.

about a week or two ago my cousin took me to go hiking on a nature trail. i hadn't felt at peace like that in a long time. the air was clean and i loved the trees and the river. but i never get that feeling at home. i just hate the never ending boredom at home.

Answer

Happiness is inside you because its the
memories you make.
Loving the nature hike is one of them.
Have you ever made a list of all the things
you love?
Why not incorporate a walk amongst nature
 frequently?
The medication is for people who don't produce
enough serotonin in their body. People are not
supposed 2stop taking it.
Exercise is very good if you have some form
of depression.
Have you ever thought of seeing a counsellor
2talk about things.

Answer

Probably, you have not felt happy because happiness is deep inside you. You are living on the surface, you are trying to enjoy superficial happiness. You are trying to enjoy the happiness of the sense pleasures, you are trying to be happy from the skin, from the eyes, the nose, the ears, the tongue. For you this pleasure is happiness, but real happiness is inside you. You are not even experiencing that because all the doors of your body are looking outside. Stop, look within, go inside the kingdom of God is within you, but you are searching outside. Happiness is inside you but you looking at external things to make you happy. How will you ever be happy? If you truly go within, you will find an ocean of happiness.

Answer

Yes, happiness is not in external things. Happiness is within. One who goes within and realizes that they are the Divine Spirit, the Soul, the Atman, they experience Ananda, a bliss unknown to common man. True happiness is not in external things, you can't achieve happiness, you have to be happy. How can you be happy? By going within, by living with the realization of the truth that we are not the body that seeks material pleasures, we are not even the mind that becomes miserable, we are not the ego that gets agonized with hate, jealousy and other negative poisons, we are the Divine Soul. We are like the musk deer, the deer chases the fragrance of the musk all through its life as it roams in the jungles. One day searching for the fragnance of the musk, it falls of the cliff and dies. Hunters tear open its stomach and retrieve the musk that all along was in its own navel. When will we realize happiness within?
