We all want to be Happy
We pray to God for bliss
But where does God truly live
This point we sadly miss

God is not on a distant planet
In heaven above the skies
The power within that makes our heartbeat
Is where God truly lies

When there is a problem that we cannot solve
We go to God and cry
Make me Happy, my dear Lord!
We beg as we question why

We know that God can do anything
He made Heaven and earth
He is the giver of Happiness
The one who gave us birth

But still, we look for Happiness
Desiring this and wanting that
Sometimes our wishes are fulfilled
Otherwise, we become sad

And so do we live until we die
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
We miss to discover a simple secret
God is the source of Joy

Instead of seeking God within
We are searching for Happiness!
Of course, we become happy at times
But the source of Joy we miss

If only we change our search for God
And look for Him within We will have
everlasting Joy and Peace And a
Blissful life will begin

But we don't know who God
truly is In fear, we bow our head
Instead of loving the Lord within
We suffer until we are dead

We don't discover this Truth That
GOD = Happiness We are looking
for joy in so many places
But within ourselves we miss

We are not body, we are not mind
This Truth we must realize
We are in fact God energy
To this Truth we must rise

Once we are conscious that God
lives within We will suffer no more
The giver of Happiness is part of us
This Truth will make us glow

Instead of seeking Happiness
It's God we must search and
And once we realize the Truth,
behold There will be joy and peace in our mind

But we don't know who God truly is
We all believe in the myth
We don't discover that God lives within
We fail to reach the zenith

'God = Happiness' is a secret
We must discern and know
Then we will discover true bliss and joy
As our bond with God will grow

If you want to be truly Happy
Then don't seek joy and bliss
Realize and God within
For that's where is Happiness
Ask why before you die
Seek answers don’t just cry  
Don’t just accept what people say
Resolve to nd out the Truth today

Who are you and why are you here?
Why this birth? Who got you here?
Are you just meant to live and die?
Is there a purpose? Find out why

What is death, what is the end?
The body dies, it is just a bend
I never die, I will live on
But where will I go, will I be reborn?

Where is God and who is He?
Is it he or is it she?  
I want to nd where is heaven and hell
I am seeking answers, who will tell!

Am I the body, mind or Soul?
What is it that makes me whole?  
Am I the ego, who says I?  
I want to nd out who am I  

What is this thing called life?
So much joy and so much strife
Is it real or just a show?
Where we come and then we go?

Who created this earth, who created the sky?
Was it just a bang, oh my!  
How could all this just come about?
There must be a Creator, there is no doubt!

Is there a law that keeps a track?  
Whatever we do, it will come back
Or will we escape from all our sins?
And have no rewards for all our wins

What causes us to be happy and to be sad?  
Is it true that desires are bad?
Can we be happy with joy and peace?  
Removing cravings, the big disease

Is our mind our friend or foe?
Will it help us cross the shore?  
Is it a monkey that makes us blink?  
And does it make us in ignorance sink?
If Success was Happiness
     Then achievers would be glad
  But look around and you will find
       That many of them are sad

   Of course, Achievement gives joy
        And excitement, oh boy!
But when our need becomes our greed
        To misery, this will lead

  The whole world is chasing Success
     Everyone wants achievement
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose
        There is no Contentment

   Why do people want to succeed?  
       Why is everyone in a race?
   The Truth is that we want to win
  So that there is a smile on our face

      But though we win, we are not glad
            We have money, why are we sad?  
         Happiness is not money, the sages said
        It's sleeping soundly when you are in bed

       We hear of suicides in the homes of the rich
       If they were Happy, then why this glitch?  
    Although they are achievers, this fact we know
       They are not Happy, their face has no glow

      If successful, but unhappy, what is the use?  
     Winning or smiling, what would you choose?  
       The purpose of Success is for us to be glad
     What is the use of winning, if it makes us sad?  

       Happiness is something different, we learn
         Not just money that we earn and burn
      Happiness is built on a foundation of peace
       Then we are blissful like waves in the seas

        Look around at the people who are glad
      They live in the moment, they are never sad
      They don't swing from the future to the past
        They are the ones whose Happiness lasts
The Law of Karma is very deep
As we sow, so shall we reap
The bad we do will make us weep  
And the good that we do, we get to keep

It's a Law of Action, a Law of Reaction
It's a Law that says, we get what we give  
A Law that ensures what goes around comes around  
A Law that's for everyone on this ground

The Law of Karma is born from our Dharma  
Karma is a Law, A Universal Law  
A Law that watches all our actions
And a Law that ensures the same reaction

If we plant tomatoes, we won't get mangoes  
If we plant cactus, we won't get a rose
So also if we do good, our reward will be good  
And if we do bad – what returns is just as bad

What is this Law of Cause and Effect?  
A Law that ensures the balance is perfect  
A Law that records everything we do  
Good or bad, it must come back to you

But how does this Law work, we don't know  
It belongs to the One who created this show  
It controls how on Earth we come and go  
Does it end at death? The answer is NO!

Our Body may die, but our Karma stands by  
We CAN escape our Karma – that is a lie!  
Our Mind will be reborn to live and to die  
And we will continue to suffer and cry

Death is not the end; it's just a bend  
Whatever we have done has to be undone  
If our actions are rewarded as we live – that's great  
Otherwise, the residue will decide our next fate

Is our body responsible for how we act?  
No, it's our mind that's in charge, in fact  
Thus, the Law of Karma is that of the Mind  
It's the ego and mind that suffers we find.

It carries the good and the bad that we do  
The score doesn't settle at death when we go  
Life after life, the score goes on  
The Karmic score decides how we are reborn

So should we suffer again and again?  
When will we finally escape this pain?  
We can if only we Realize the Truth  
We must get to the bottom; we must get to the root

What is our purpose of life on Earth?  
Are we just born to die and take birth?  
Where did we come from? Where do we go?  
The Law will go on till the Truth we know

Are we the Body? Are we the Mind?  
Are we the Ego? The Truth we must find  
The ignorance that's around us, we must rewind  
We are Energy of a different kind

The Law of Karma makes this world go round  
It's a Law that makes sure all's well on the ground  
The Law is for all who come and go  
Except for  those who understand this show

Those who realize we are not the body or the mind  
Those who are able – the Truth to find  
They are the fortunate few who escape from action  
For them, there is no Karma, no Law of Reaction

When bad things happen to the good, don't blink
It's the Law of Karma in action, just think  
If you plant a seed, you will face  the deed  
For what you do will come back to you

If you want to master the Law of Karma  
You must realize that the world is a Drama  
You must know you are not the body and the mind  
Then True Joy, Bliss and Peace you will find
My mind is king; I thought it is everything!

It makes me blink; it makes me think
It gives me joy until I die
The only problem with my mind… Where it is, I cannot find!

It is my memory; it is my mind

It is my intellect - one of a kind
My greatest treasure is my mind
The only problem with my mind…
Where it is, I cannot find!

The body I can see; the body I can find

Likewise I am sure; I have a mind
It is not yours; I know it is mine
The only problem with my mind…
Where it is, I cannot find!

Suddenly, I realize these are not my mind…

My intellect and my memory are of a different kind My mind is a monkey; a rascal my mind

The only problem with my mind… Where it is I, cannot find!

I then resolved to **** my mind

The rascal I vowed, I must grind
It made me worry; it made me fear
Enough my dear, no more tear
The only problem with my mind…
Where it is, I cannot find!

I made my intellect rule my mind

I shot down thoughts of a monkey kind
I wanted joy and peace of mind
No more my king, my rascal mind
I realized then there was no mind…
It was a rascal! No need to find!
Yes Dada! I realize I am nothing but I live in ignorance.
I need Thy grace.
I need God's Grace to be liberated from this ignorance.
Without you my Guru, what would I be?
Continue to lead me,
my dear Master to the one reality.
Continue to guide me.
Continue to bless me.
I need you. I can't do without you.
I Love you.
I am nothing.
I know! I realize.
And I realize I don't know what I know.
Only you can make me realize this by opening my 'real eyes',
My Guru, my Mentor, my God on Earth
I am not who I am!
I have a body, but am I the body?
I have a mind, but am I the mind?
I have an ego, but am I the ego?
Who is the me that I am?

Am I a butterfly? No that’s not me.
Am I a bee? No that’s not me.
Am I a tree? No that’s not me.
I am me!
Who is the me that I am?

I am not who I think I am
I am an Indian – No, that's my nationality
I am a Hindu – No, that's my religion
I am a male – No, that's my gender
I am not who I think I am!

I am not my car
I know what I am not
I am not my house
I know what I am not
What I am not, I know
But I know not who I am

I have eyes that can see
But the eyes are not me
I have limbs that can walk
But it's not me who does the talk
These are mine, but not me
Who is the me that I am?

I am not the Ego
That’s my identity
I am not the body and mind
That’s not ME
I am the Holistic Energy
I am “HE”
I am not the ‘I’ that I thought I was
Who am I? I know who I am.
