Being happy always

Being happy always

Is easier said than accomplished!

It’s perfect for the enlightened hermits

For them bliss is within, seek within

Damn difficult for the mundane poor mortals

Ordinary mortals are for progress,

Improvement, self-welfare

Being content on stagnant progress

May help being happy, yes

Just they keep working, happy!

The noble hearted work for others’ welfare,

May be sad seeing the others suffering

Still helping them, seeing their smiles

On improvement makes them happy

They too keep working, happy!

For still many being happy means owning

money, more money, luxury, high living,

A palatial bungalow, an extravagant car,

The latest high end smart phone so on,

Well, modern desires or modern necessities?

Once it dawns on them these are mere desires

Not actual necessities as they could live

With less amenities with bare minimum

Essentials, food, dress and shelter

There floods the happiness, indeed!

There are no short cuts or ready made recipies

To being happy always, just some measures-

It’s hermit way of life, contented mortal living,

Social uplifting, welfare oriented sustenance- just few

Right pickings amidst thousand ways of being happy!
