In Pursuit of HappYness - II

This is C's mail to me about an hour ago:
Mere ko aaj kal sab kuch ajeeb sa lagne lag gaya hai.
Happiness has just gone out. Pata nahi kya chahta hun life se
Feeling very low..infact its the lowest I had ever been
Chid chida ho gaya hun
Pick up fights for no issues at all
Bahut ajeeb sa ho gaya hai
Mother this is my confession. Pls pray to God to forgive me and give me happiness.

My reply: ( a temporary remedy)
Close you eyes for a second and try to imagine the happiest memory you can ever recall . Maybe a family vacation together, maybe an award you worked hard for, may be a kind deed you once did or someone did for you
We can't find happiness outside. It's lying within us. So look inside you..
और बोलो- अपर्णा मैया कि.... जय ( and say Hail To Mother Aparna)

अब अंधे को अँधा रास्ता दिखाए तो कैसे ? ( Now, how can a blind show the path to another blind ?)

Kabir said -
Such is true knowledge, O friend-
Those who take refuge in a boat sink midstream;
The shelterless and forlorn, reach the opposite shore.

Those who take the arduous thorny path reach the town;
Who take the easy highway are robbed midway.
In one string all are entangled, be they worldly, be they recluse.

Those who take shelter under the edifice of forms and rituals,
Are rocked and drenched by the storm;
Who remain in the open, Are left dry and safe.

Those wounded by the arrow, Attain everlasting bliss;
They suffer pain and misery who remain unhurt.
Those without eyes see the entire creation;
Who possess eyes remain blind. Says Kabir;
When I realized the truth, I saw the world’s strange character.

We are all blind people groping in darkness. Trying to find one object to hold on to that can give us happiness. And blind as we are, we throw away the gemstones with rough edges and hold on to the pebbles with smooth texture.
Where is the end of the tunnel? Where is the light?
Gaonwalo kuch karo- or else I will become the weeping philosopher and head for the Himalayas for Sanyaas.
I think I need to visit Goa soon.
Need to unwind after I am through with my pending work.

And please pray for my friend. He really needs to have peace with himself.

(Btw,for those who cannot view the Devanagari script:
और बोलो- अपर्णा मैया कि.... जय = Aur bolo Aparna maiya ki.. Jai
and अब अंधे को अँधा रास्ता दिखाए तो कैसे ?= Ab andhe ko andha raasta dikhaye to kaise )
