Offspring, the due performance on religious rites, faithful service, highest conjugal happiness and heavenly bliss for the ancestors and oneself, depend on one's wife alone.

What do sad people have in common? It seems they have all built a shrine to the past and often go there and do a strange wail and worship. What is the beginning of Happiness? It is to stop being so religious like that.

The most satisfying project you will ever undertake-and a mark of a complete human being-is to discover how to build a sense of happiness that no one can take away from you.

Happiness is a function of compassion. If you do not have compassion in your heart, you do not have any happiness.

Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being.

Happiness is your birthright. Live it!

Every single being, even those who are hostile to us, is just as afraid of suffering as we are, and seeks happiness in the same way we do. Every person has the same right as we do to be happy and not to suffer. So let's take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.

When you are in touch with the Inner Being then irrespective of the outer state, you remain in a perpetual state of happiness!

Those who are unconquered in spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm-that is true happiness.

We need to learn how to want what we have, NOT to have what we want in order to get steady and stable Happiness.

Happiness depends on how you accept, understand and surrender to situations.

Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.

Problems or successes, they all are the results of our own actions. Karma. The philosophy of action is that no one else is the giver of peace or happiness. One's own karma, one's own actions are responsible to come to bring either happiness or success or whatever.

The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness.

Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good things toward you.

In joy, in peace, in that soothing inner state, you will find happiness.

Be sincere in your thoughts, be pure in your feelings. You will not have to run after happiness. Happiness will run after you.

Happiness is a state of which you are unconscious. The moment you are aware that you are happy, you cease to be happy.

Happiness belongs to the self sufficient.

Health is the first benefit. Content is the first fortune. Friendliness is the first kindness. Nirvana is the first happiness.

People can be happy in only one way, and that is if they are authentically themselves. Then the springs of happiness start flowing, they become more alive, they become a joy to see, a joy to be with; they are a song, they are a dance.

When I think of the happiness that is in store for me, every sorrow, every pain becomes dear to me.

All your desires, whatever they may be, are expressions of your longing for happiness. Basically, you wish yourself well.
