To begin with ,lets see what HAPPINESS actually is.We all love to be happy but where is this happiness sold? Had someone been selling it, in these markets , I am sure everyone would have been happy. But that is not the case. We all look for happiness in things that satiate us and that includes trivial things like shopping, hanging out with friends, getting good gifts and loads of money. But I have often found that the moment I enter my home after shopping loads of stuff I start thinking about the money I spent, and whether the dress suits to the tee or not. And hence this kind of happiness is momentary, hence it isn't happiness at all. It flies as soon as we satiate our desires.
Now you must be wondering why am I blabbering about happiness and what is true happiness if its not satiating your own self.
Well guys I am writing on this because today I found the real happiness. And you wont believe it came from the most ordinary of things.
I found my happiness in teaching students, in giving them just a small part of what I have learnt in these two decades of my life. Frankly speaking I started this for money but within a day itself my view changed. Now I am doing this just to enlighten the lives of a few, not for any monetary benefits. Believe me this inner satisfaction is divine. The jetlag of teaching students for 3-4 hours is infact the real comfort for me. And when a student solves a question on a topic taught by you, You actually feel you are in empyream.
Thats why I say to give unconditionally is divine because it holds the secret to the inner satisfaction and true happiness.
"Only when we give joyfully without hesitation or thought of gain,
can we truely know what true happiness means."
Aha...How true..Dont know why the world [not excluding me] runs for materialistic happiness...
ReplyDeleteI guess tehre must be a reason for that aswell..If it is happening, there must be a reason for that...Think over it..may be in a coming post you will tell us more about that..
teaching is an addictive profession...ur life is a stage all the time when you are a teacher...I am glad you have realized what happiness means to you

but b careful, dont give zaroorat se zyaada, galat fayda uthaye koi, aadhe student toe dimaag sirf chatne ke liye hi chat-te hain, deal with them on another level
ReplyDeleteIt is true that the most are ,irrespective of profession ,are becoming materialistic.
ReplyDeleteThat is the reality.
Teaching is perhaps the best thing i ever did in my life...i really yearn for the feeling which one gets when his/her student does well in the taught field....as said in previous comments it is indeed addictive....the only thing which we need to follow while teaching is to bring our self to the level of our students and then rise with them not to force your students to rise upto to you....
ReplyDeleteand there are no students jo dimaag chaat te hai there are only teachers who force their students to do so....whatever student does wrong infact signifies the shortcomings of their teacher and not the student...

ReplyDeletebecause ur understanding of life is so real, to believe that it is true but it is very unimaginable and yet so satisfaying at the same time .

@akshat hanji I will pay heed to your words.
ReplyDelete@number yeah r rite.At times, even we used to irritate our teachers a lot but rite now m loving ..Also becoz d students r obedient..:)
ReplyDelete@shahid yup I am also happy about the fact..An act of charity once in a while recharges one's soul.
ReplyDelete@chawla ji Yes it is true..the worls s becoming arrogantly materialistic.
ReplyDelete@ skywalker yup like we never misbehaved in Dhingra maan's class...some teachers are class apart..And even I ,a student is a reflection of a teacher's lessons.
ReplyDelete@Aj well yes I am real..I never said money doesnt matters but the real happiness is not asociated wd it..u can experience it urself.
ReplyDelete@sobhit Yes u said it right..Many a times we do feel that somthing's right but its difficult to practice it.
ReplyDeleteAnd ya I agree wd u n thz lines- "naya saal mubarak sahib" is more valuable n truthfull dan d mood set insyd f sm fancy party.
tk care.
well i never talked abt money .... what was i commending on maturity of your mind which seems really impossible to me and it is RARELY POSSIBLE to find ... that thing really captures my attention .... money :it is better not to worry abt it(i never do ) and more important is to follow ur passion ... that is what I have been doing .
ReplyDeletetake care
..whatever student does wrong infact signifies the shortcomings of their teacher and not the student...
ReplyDeleteWork from home
and the one who has time doesnt have good will ... and those that have both are handful.. but they do make a differnce...
