In The Light of Love – Happiness Is Our True Nature

It was a real pleasure to have dinner and talks with Kristina, Abby, and Avery.

These three young ladies are all pursuing post secondary education in psychology.

Kristina, being the most senior of the three, has already graduated with her degree and is headed towards her masters. She provided guidance and insight to the younger two.

It is clear that the basic source of all happiness is a sense of kindness and warm-heartedness towards others. We are all the same as human beings. We are born the same way, we die the same way, and we all want to lead happy lives.  

The key to happiness is peace of mind. This is not something that can be bought. Inner peace has to be cultivated by each of us from within. All our traditions, despite whatever philosophical differences there may be among them, carry the same message of love and warm-heartedness that is the foundation of such peace of mind.

It is always remarkable to spend time with young adults like these three young ladies, who are naturally open and accepting of others. It is often the case that as we grow up, we fail to nurture our natural potential and our sense of fundamental human values. We get caught up in the things of the world and tend to think in terms of "us" and "them". Education can change this. It is always powerful to talk openly about the destructive nature of emotions like anger, fear, and attachment, which disturb our peace of mind, compared to the positive qualities of compassion that are the genuine sources of happiness.

Thank you for the great visit and all the smiles! 

BE In The Light Of LOVE!!!
