Then Happiness Will Follow You

443Question: Do we need to seek out happiness or not? Or is it also in the hands of the Creator?

Answer: I do not think it is possible to find it. I do not think happiness can be found. Happiness must be created. That is, you need to put yourself in a state where you know exactly how to force it to be revealed, then you will see it.

Question: A very important question is: “What do you mean by the word ‘happiness’ when you say it now?”

Answer: By happiness I mean a feeling that one’s life has been a success.

Question: Does one have such a feeling toward the end of his life, or throughout his life: ”I am living the right life; my life is a success”? How is it?

Answer: No, I think it happens toward the end.

Question: So is it always a work in progress? Does it follow that our life is a constant work in progress?

Answer: Yes, it is when a person is still looking for more and more, to rebuild his life over and over again so that it brings the happiness one envisions. Let us say that ii is making people happy, making his family happy, whatever a person can imagine.

Question: So are you now directing the vector “away from me”—to make others happy. This is what you keep talking about. Is this how I discover the meaning of life? So in a way, do I come to the conclusion that this is what brings me happiness?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this constant work?

Answer: It is a constant job that can never stop. And a person should clearly understand how to do this.

Comment: But along the way, one gets disappointed, climbs up again, and so on.

My Response: I do not know about getting disappointed. He just has to imagine his path. And then “the traveler will master the path.”

Comment: That is, in order for happiness to follow you, it does not mean that you are happy; you have to work all the time to make others happy. And it is not easy, as we understand it.

My Response: It does not matter that it is not easy. Is anything easy in life? Nothing is easy.

Question: But is this the path? This particular path?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When you say “the path of light” and “the path of darkness,” what do you mean by that?

Answer: The path of light is when you bring light to people. And the path of darkness is when you cannot do it.

Question: Cannot or will not?

Answer: I believe that “cannot” and “will not” are the same.
