Happiness is not alien

Sri Ramana Maharshi

There is happiness at agreeable sights. It is the happiness inherent in the Self. That happiness is not alien and after. You are diving into the Pure Self on occasions which you consider pleasurable. That diving reveals the Self-existent Bliss. But the association of ideas is responsible for foisting this bliss on to other things or happenings. In fact, it is within you. On these occasions you are plunging into the Self, though unconsciously. If you do so consciously you call it Realization. I want you to dive consciously into the Self, i.e., into the Heart.
