The Pursuit of Happyness :UnHappiness is a state of mind, where as happiness is state of heart!

Mind is the reason for unhappiness. Mind cannot be reason for Happiness. No-mind can be source of happiness but not mind.
The very nature of Mind is desire, dreams, greediness, Misery, anger, pain and goals, If you are controlled by mind then you have every reason to be unhappy. Yes you can be happy in Mind when you buy a new car, get a new house etc but eventually you oscillate between misery and temporary happiness.
Happiness out of heart is more or less river like phenomena. It is ready to flow all the time. Love, Compassion, Awareness, Unbounding Joy, dance all comes from heart. if you want to move towards more awareness filled life you need to move into your heart center. Initially you may find it tough in a competitive world to act out of heart but slowly you will realize you have edge over others while you respond out of heart.
Your agony of life is that, you know deep inside you are wrong, Your pain of life is that you don’t have courage to follow your heart.
Meditation is art of moving from head to heart, Meditation is moving from mind to no -mind. Meditation is the way to ignite heart center.
Love
Suresh
I just wanted to leave a comment to let you know how much I love your photography. I also completely agree with the fact that the reasoning mind will only experience temporary happiness.

Ilchi Lee has a fantastic reputation due to what he teaches and how he uses his mind. Ilchi Lee was driven at youth to ask deep inner questions about his existence, which is a question that we all bring up sometimes. Ilchi Lee is also a master of Teak Kwon Do and spent 21 days alone meditating. Meditate is to reflect deeply on a subject. Meditate to think to intently and at length as for spiritual purposes. This is similar to what many of us do. How many times have you been sitting around bored, just staring into nothing. You are meditating. Ilchi Lee also traveled across the USA and stumbled across a city to start teaching his ideas. This wonderful and beautiful city was Sedona, Arizona. Finally, Ilchi Lee
