In pursuit of happiness (2 of 2)

Good morning Friends. Hope you are still with me here in my second part of my article.

There are some youngsters who are open to learn about spirituality. “I believe in spirituality but not completely. I have just started to learn more about it. I think it really gives peace of mind and makes an individual calm.

With the kind of lifestyle we are leading these days, I think engaging in spiritual activities really helps,” says Maunil Shah, a 19-year-old youngster. And there are also other youngsters who have other options to make themselves happy and content. Dhaval Mehta, a young student says, “I am not spiritual and I don’t believe in it either. I prefer to play video games, watch a film or freak out with friends. These are the things that act as major stressbusters for me.”

Kamayani Mathur feels that today’s youngsters need everything that is quick — fast music, fast food or quick bucks. She says, “The survey findings are a welcome change. It shows that they have started understanding things in a better way. If they find peace in pravachan, satsangs and meditation, then it is definitely good. One turns toward spirituality with good and bad experiences in life.”

How important is it to follow spirituality to remain happy? “One needs to believe in something to be happy, and it can be anything. If one asks for something in life (realistic demand) and he or she is able to face the reality keeping the talent, attitude, capabilities and intelligence in right place then happiness can follow. Real happiness comes from within,” says Kamayani. – The times of India
