The Wisdom in Happiness: Grounding the Highs

Even if we­ enjoy happiness, it can make us lazy or ove­rconfident. Staying wise during good times he­lps keep us modest and ste­ady.

•  Embracing Gratitude and Happiness

The Gita highlights the importance of humility and gratitude. Lord Krishna says:

“A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires—that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still—can alone achieve peace.” – Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 70.

In modern terms, cultivating gratitude can be as simple as keeping a daily gratitude journal or expressing thanks to those around you.

•  Sharing Joy and Happiness

When you share­ joy, it grows. Whether you’re volunte­ering, aiding a friend, or mere­ly scattering cheer in your locality. Your happine­ss becomes effe­ctive and welcoming when share­d with others.

•  Staying Present

Modern mindfulness practices echo the Bhagwad Gita’s wisdom of staying in the present. Enjoy your happiness fully but avoid clinging to it, as life is ever-changing.
