So, you want to be happy? You cannot make me happy. You are not my happiness. Uninterrupted happiness is uncaused. True happiness is uncaused. You say to the awakened person, "Why are you happy?" and the awakened person replies, "Why not?"
Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is the natural state of little children, to whom the kingdom belongs until they have been polluted and contaminated by the stupidity of society and culture. To acquire happiness there is nothing you have to do - why? - because happiness cannot be acquired. Does anybody know why happiness cannot be acquired? Because we have it already. How can you acquire what you already have?
Why then don't you experience it? Because you've got to drop something. You've got to drop your illusions. You don't have to add anything in order to be happy; you've got to drop something. Life is easy, life is delightful. It's only hard in your illusions, your ambitions, your greed, your cravings.
Do you know where these things come from?
From having identified with all kinds of labels!
Peace and Love
