Foot prints of the Soul : Feeling Content and Seeking True happiness

                    I would like go into two different topics which are interrelated to being Happy in the Real world . Being Happy has always been an individual goal from the origins of Species. Every species big or small blooms in happiness when they find what they seek..
                   From the lowest organic forms such as an Algae or Coral  to the Highest form Human Race everybody seeks happiness. You might wonder how can you measure the happiness of an Algae or a Coral. ?  Lets take Algae in the oceans or any water source. They thrive in dirt ,muddy and shallow waters. All they need is to find a consistent oxygen source and different minerals to bloom. Once they find them they bloom in full glory digesting all oxygen in the water in the process. This is also one kind of greed that they are not aware of as species, but they do it due to the lack of conscious or Subconscious.

              Corals are the similar, they bloom in shallow salty waters where they take sunlight and minerals washed along the shores to bloom. They give asylum to so many small sea creatures, they are less greedy and spread evenly across the sea floor unlike algae. They do it without a conscious or they might have one since its a creature in the chain of sea life, but without realizing.

             Human mind seeks happiness all their life from childhood to death. A child in a mothers womb seeks the warmth and nourishment from the mother. If it feels uncomfortable or doesn't get what it needs it gets sick and eventually unhappy leading to a premature and famished baby. After its born it cries for attention until it gets the soothing supply of nourishment from the Mother. It smiles in happiness and seeks nothing else., When its a child human form only worries about nourishment and protection from Mother. When it grows older it worries about it safety and protection from threats. Through its adolescent transformation it worries about money, education, friends and being active. Most of it alters as a grown up adult to seeks happiness through relationship,job, place to live and making a family. All that it eventually seeks is happiness as the end result. We wouldn't be doing anything if doesn't make us happier, even if we do it wouldn't  sustain longer . That's why if somebody does things with passion like playing his favorite sports or watching a game, its done that way to find happiness in that.

             When Human mind gets involved in a activity that leads to happiness as end result, its gets the passion and urge to repeat it quite often. If its get happiness that it seeks consistently, it feels like content. If being content is not sustainable it moves to the next source of happiness. Hence its always a tug of war between seeking happiness, feeling content and sustaining the feelings.
 
            In the material world all souls are constantly entwined in the wheel of time playing tug of war between these seeking material activities.  The material body overtakes the senses and soul responds to doing things which cannot be sustained. None of these material happiness and feeling content is really sustainable. They come and go because the soul is not making the decisions here, but the material body, its conscious and the material objects that influence this body drives our endless seeking.

          To end this cycle of unsustainable seeking activity, we need to do things from the soul and the subconscious mind. When we practice meditation and do things that makes the soul happier and feel content , it reveals its true sense, The vessel it resides on feels the happiness and blooms like a coral in the open sea. It houses not only the beautiful subconscious but also the other souls that seek the true happiness and feeling content. Being spiritual in what we do and being more inclusive of other souls into our happiness make us shine like stars in real life. Seeking material happiness and feeling content with material items will not bring us sustained happiness.

       Lets all strive to be balanced in mind, body and soul and spread the eternal wealth of Soulful happiness and truly content human being .

God Bless all the Good souls and Cure the evil ones !!
