Sukkha सुख Happinessसुख

Sukkha सुख: sukha सुख is the happiness you gain when following requirements get fulfilled:

- You own a house! 
- A secured job or profession! 
- Earn sufficient money to lead a happy Life! 
- A happy family Life!

When all the requirements of the Materialistic World get fulfilled ... You feel happy. Whenever, this equilibrium gets disturbed, Dukkha दुःख (Sadness) takes over! A moment you are happy, at the other ... Sad!! Why such a change of attitude! What are the governing factors? Can one remain neutral in both circumstances!

Have you ever noticed the shaping of a tool by a blacksmith? Taking a raw piece of metal, he flings it into the Fire and when the piece is red hot ... Shapes it using a hammer ... Again puts the red hot piece in a bucket of cold water ... Cools it and again puts it into Fire! The whole process of heating and cooling is repeated until the desired shape is achieved!!

A raw Human Being, yet inexperienced ... How does he gain experience? Putting into the Fire (Dukkha दुःख) and cold water (Sukkha सुख) ... What does it bring to your Mind ... A glimpse of the Cosmic process! The Eternal process of learning remains the same for all beings ... Be it a Human Being, an animal or even a metal (Ever tried shaping a cold metal?). The moment you become a Tata or a Birla ... You feel, the best has been accomplished and you do not feel the pinch ... Whenever you loose or gain money! Why?

You now start realizing the Truth. J.R.D Tata, a man par excellence considered and practiced ... You are but a Trustee in the Cosmic process as a whole! One must continue trying his best!! Neither gain, nor the loss is yours ... You are but an instrument in the hands of God ... Doing his bidding all the time ... Why fret and fume? Over what??
