Happiness is not a unique thing. It is one flavor of essence among many. The happiness you are used to comes and goes. Instead of thinking of this as a well that runs dry, imagine the atmosphere. There’s always humidity in the atmosphere, and sometimes it releases itself as rain. The days when it doesn’t rain haven’t made the humidity go away; it’s always present in the air, waiting to precipitate as conditions change.

You can take the same attitude toward happiness, which is always present in awareness without having to precipitate every moment–it shows itself as conditions change. People are different in their baseline of emotion, and some experience more cheerfulness, optimism, and contentment than others.
This variety expresses the diversity of creation. You can’t expect the desert and the rain forest to behave the same. Yet these alterations in personal makeup are superficial. The same unchanging happiness can be accessed in everyone’s awareness.** Don’t use the ups and downs of your personal happiness as a reason for not journeying to the source.**

Trying to be happy as an end in itself is limited; you will be fortunate just to meet your ego’s requirements for a happy life.** If instead you devote yourself to a total shift in awareness, happiness arrives as a gift freely bestowed by consciousness.**

i like the bold part the most, don’t depend on luck to bring happiness is what i got out of it. thanks lethal bhai
