the flag still hangs and does not fall down, though it stops flying. Similarly, when the breeze of happiness collapses, our life hangs on the pole, it carries on with dullness without any meaning. The beauty of the flag lies not in merely hanging but in flying. The purpose of our life too is not merely hanging around, but living with contentment and happiness at all times.
When the freedom struggle was initiated against the Britishers who ruled our country for centuries, the freedom slogan that echoed in the country was "Freedom is my birth-right". Since infinite times this soul which should be experiencing the nectar of eternal bliss is under the bondage of its own karmas. We should remember the valorous slogan coined by Shri Lokmanya Tilak in this new context, "Happiness is my birthright”.
Let me present a poem that is like a soothing balm to a person who is enwrapped in depression and unhappiness :
The Sun rises up and sets down the way The Moon grows, glows and moves away The ocean vast, faces tides low and high Hey human! problems and pleasures stay together, Don't sigh!
There was never a single incident in Bhagwan Rishabhdev's son, Emperor Bharat's life when he had to cry. After the nirvana of Bhagwan Rishabhdev, Indra had taught Bharat to cry to give vent to his inner grief. Today will we have to teach people to laugh?
