Happiness

• "Dad, everyone is looking for happiness. But what is meant by happiness?" This was one of the questions a wise boy in India, Sveta-ketu, put to his father many centuries ago.
  
  "One of the signs of happiness, son, is that a person who has it becomes active. A person who does not find happiness does not feel like being active. His mind is cramped, his will is weak. What is vast and infinite brings happiness. There is no true joy in what is small or finite. I can tell you that the Infinite alone is happiness; but you must desire to understand this Infinite, my son."
  
  "I want to understand it, Dad," said Sveta-ketu.
  
  "Good," said his father. "Then you must listen carefully to what I say and think deeply about it:
  
  "When a person sees that nothing and no one is separate from him, that he is one with all the people, animals, and objects in the universe, when a person sees and hears and knows nothing else -- that is the Infinite.
  
  "But, if one sees or feels some other thing, obstructing him, separating him, then that is the finite. He has not yet found the Infinite.
  
  "The Infinite never passes away; it lasts forever; but what is finite will pass away."

ob·serv·er-  One that observes

Most of my Life, ive been a people watcher,  fasinated by the goings on of those around me.   I dont know what kinda person can go thru life, just jet speed ahead, unaffected by those around them on a daily basis.... Never understood those individuals.

Have you ever just sat and watched the people around you?. weather it be in a crowded laundry mat, a bustling resturant with silverware clanging and people giving their orders..or just sittin outside the grocery store in your car, and just taking in all the fellow humans around us.

Its quite amazing all the little things you witness...a stressed out mother @ her wits end loading the family station wagon with the weekly groceries.. with a baby on her hip and 2 pint sized ones fighting and trying to run away with the shopping cart, or the older gentleman, whos daily trip to the store is possibly the highlight of that day. Picking up bananas and his tv guide, and feeling independant driving his dusty blue buick through the parking lot.

I like making up little stories in my mind about the people i see...:)

I was sitting outside reading last night, and i couldnt help but stare into the sky, wondering to myself, Is God the ultimate people watcher?  Sure, he knows all, holds the future, and all that jazz ( not making light, just sayin) ..but in my weird way of thinking.., i invisioned him chillin, just watchin us all on giant cloud monitors, like conveinant store surveilance cams. :)

LOOK AT YOURSELF AFTER WATCHING THIS.mp4
