True happiness is unconditional. Problem starts when we attach a condition to it. "If it happens I am happy" or "If I possess it I will be happy" or the most common unsaid statement "If he/she behaves this way I am happy". All the above statements are examples of adding conditions to the state of being happy.
How do we remove these conditions or rather taking a step back in questioning, Is happiness a conditional thing ? It has been explained in many ways by all spiritual gurus that a child starting from his infancy to a certain age is always happy. That is the only thing he knows. The child cries not out of sadness but just to signal to his mother of discomfort or hunger. Infant children are often seen smiling in their sleep or even when they are awake at the slightest gesture of an adult.
So what happens to that happiness when we grow. Does it cease to exist or has it been completely utilized ? No It just became conditional. When a child's mind starts evolving and he starts creating a list of likes and dislikes that is when Happiness slowly starts taking a backstage.
So stop creating conditions to be happy.......Just be Happy
