Happiness is Your Real Nature

Feel the Presence within yourself. Feel the happiness and joy that you really are. Feel it! You can feel it. No matter how many so-called problems you may appear to have, no matter what is going on in your life, good or bad, forget about that. It doesn't matter. Feel the presence. The Presence of Consciousness. The Presence of Pure Awareness. Feel this in yourself. Do not think about it -- just feel it. When you begin to think about it, you spoil it. Allow the mind to rave on. Do not pay a bit of attention to the mind, whatever thoughts it brings you, whatever it tells you. Pay no attention whatsoever to the mind. Feel the bliss. You ARE the bliss. There is absolutely nothing that you need or have to become. Do not search for enlightenment or liberation. You'll never find it. There's nowhere to look for it. When you look with your senses, where is the liberation? Where's the freedom? It doesn't exist. When you go beyond the senses, when you pay no attention to the senses and you go beyond them by observing them, looking at them, and not reacting to them, then you find that you've always been in bliss. Bliss happiness is your very nature. You are that.
