Thought won't perform without u

Much like the actors in a play
won't come on stage
until the audience is seated;
thoughts won't perform without you,
the perceiver of them.
Thoughts cannot think themselves,
because thoughts are not sentient.
Therefore, they cannot,
by themselves, turn into thinking.
For thinking to occur,
thoughts need to link up
with the thinker-thought,
the 'I' that is interested
in the play and its outcome.

Happiness

MAA ANANDAMAYI

Question: How can I find happiness?
Answer: First tell me whether you are willing to do as this body bids you to do?
Questioner: Yes, I am.
Answer: Are you really? Very well. Now suppose I ask you to remain here, will you be able to do that?.
Questioner: No, I will not. (Laughter...)
Answer: You see, happiness that depends on anything outside of you, be it your wife, children, money, fame, friends or anything else, cannot last. But to find happiness in Him who is everywhere, who is all-pervading, your own Self, this is real happiness.
Question: So you say happiness lies in finding my Self?
Answer: Yes. Finding your Self, discovering who you really are, means to find God, for there is nothing outside of Him.
