What Is Real Happiness?

What is real happiness? It is being at one with your soul. So, then whats a soul? Its everything that the ego is not. The ego tries to build you up. It makes you feel special and protected. But whats really happening? You wind up being incredible insecure.Im stuck on myself, on my way of doing things. I dont love the way I am, but Im addicted to it, and I dont know how to stop.Your soul and your ego are as invisibly mixed as white wine and water. Thats why people are so confused. They wander through life searching for the soul when its right there. They all believe their soul will go to Heaven after they die, but the soul is everywhere already.In other words, the soul is a mystery. It cant be lost or found. It is neither here nor there. It belongs to you and yet it belongs to God. Without a process, no one would ever get to the bottom of it.Youre searching for a label. Dont. The process cant be named. Its invisible and yet all-powerful. It alters everything you say and do, yet nothing you say and do is part of it.You cant own the process. You cant cling to it, any more than you could hold on to the smell of the ocean. The process happens entirely in the present. Its here one second and gone the next.You keep going back to your old self. Thats the worst addiction. As long as you crave the old self, you can never fully contact the unknown. Everyone is addicted to their old self.You cant have real roses, so you buy plastic ones. You cant think sweet thoughts, so you gobble down sugar. You cant figure out how to be happy, so you make other people laugh. Theres nothing wrong with what you do, but thats not real happiness.Adapted from Why Is God Laughing? The Path to Joy and Spiritual Optimism, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2008).
