Satisfaction comes from within

Life is not such a misery as we presume it to be; misery is just our interpretation. The following technique will give you a positive approach.....just read it in a magazine and wanted to scribble this down in my Diary.....

Life is so beautiful and fulfilling that everybody should be naturally satisfied. But what happens is just the contrary. Everyone is grumbling and complaining all the time. Try this meditation from Tantra which says, “Wherever satisfaction is found, in whatever act, actualize it.” Osho gives a clue: It means when you feel thirsty, you drink water, a subtle satisfaction is felt. Forget the water, forget the thirst, and remain with the subtle satisfaction that you are feeling. Be filled with it. If you look for small moments when you wake up in the morning, you will find many reasons of being satisfied. But human mind is negative. It only remembers dissatisfactions, and blows them out of proportion. You are more vocal about your miseries than about your happiness. Life is not such a misery as we have made it; misery is just our interpretation. This technique gives you a positive approach. Do not ignore satisfaction. It can become a glimpse of a greater positive existence. You see a friend and you feel happy; actualize this. It will be good to put it in words: ‘I am so happy today.’ Feel it spreading like a perfume all over your body. It enters your throat, then to the chest and other parts and the body feels cool and content. Enjoy this feeling. Be happy in that moment, and make that happiness a door. Then you are changing the mind, and you will start accumulating happiness. Your mind will turn positive, and the same world will look
different. You have to gather satisfaction drop by drop like the honey bee gathers honey from the flowers. Each incident can give you some drops of satisfaction if you know how to look. Be filled with it, taste it, and allow it to happen to your whole being. Be one with it. The fragrance of it will follow you. It will go on resounding within you the whole day and will help you to be more positive.
