Let life make you happy

 Realization must be amidst all the turmoils of life. (Sri Ramana Maharshi)

What do you want, realization or happiness? For both you cannot want and get! The problem is subconscious in nature, due to our self-imposed interferences we may not know what truly makes us happy, just as the craving for spiritual realization may have ego involvement as well. Yet, life is happy to show us what we truly want. Life is eager to demonstrate the spiritual realizations that can be spotted with the spiritual eye. Realization is the ability to see that in life’s turmoil our true being is hidden. With realization happiness is typically not far. Isn’t it written, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
