Because you falsely believe that without this thing or person or situation or event you will not be happy.
You falsely believe that.
See its falseness and you will be free.
How simple.
And here we are scarring the earth running everywhere in search of it.
We had it right here at home and did not understand it.
And we listened to all kinds of sermons and we studied all kinds of books and we went to all kinds of churches.
But we never heard it.
We never recognized the Messiah.
He was right there.
It was right there staring at us right under our nose.
We didn't see it.
True happiness is caused by nothing.
True happiness is uncaused.
Ask the mystic why he or she is happy.
The answer will be why not?
No block,
No obstruction.
Why not?
Have you ever thought that if something causes your happiness,
When you lose that something your happiness will be destroyed?
Has it ever occurred to you that if something causes your happiness you will become possessive of that thing?
You will become anxious lest you lose it?
Whatever that thing be.
Learning,
Reputation,
Good health,
Life itself.
How interesting.
The rediscovery of life.
You will never live till you stop clinging to life.
Let go.
When you cling,
Happiness dies.
If your happiness depends on anyone or anything,
That's not happiness my dears.
That's anxiety.
That's tension.
That's pressure.
That's fear.
You're attached only because you falsely believe that without this thing or person or situation or event you will not be happy.
See its falseness and you will be free.
How simple.
