Happiness is nothing but a subtle
state of mind
It is neither sold nor bought in
any market to find!
When one does gladly give up
cruelty, and tyranny wind,
Yes, one can spontaneously relish
and enjoy its sweet kind!
Happiness showers only upon a man of
Beautiful Veracity
Happiness flows ceaselessly in a
man’s perennial river of purity!
Happiness breezes in a man’s
vernal woods of sublime simplicity
Happiness inhabits the mind of pity,
piety, honesty and nobility!
Happiness befriends one, devoid of
sorrow-breeding desire
Happiness makes a haven in one who
is without fiery ire!
Happiness deserts the mind
sheltering vice, evil and mire
Happiness forsakes an envious,
malicious and spiteful liar!
Happiness believes in heavenly freedom
and non-violence
Happiness is the outcome of unusual
sacrifice and patience!
Happiness multiplies in leaps and
bouds in its selfless share
Happiness overflows only in
spreading love and Motherly care!
Happiness prevails when
unperturbed is one’s common sense
Real happiness is to cross the
most elusive and enigmatic Fence!
Let’s all feel happiest being a rare
reason for others’ happiness
Let’s be unrivalled victors by
winning this interminable Race!

Your concepts of happiness are quite devine in nature Sir. No doubt they are absolutely the right sources of happiness in true sense which you have compiled in such a beautiful manner but still my mind is hunting after the answer to a question that is how to be happy when the people sorrounding me are unhappy and I find myself in a quite helpless situation to help them. Your lines made me visualize the image of Mother Teresa. Some how an excellent presentation Sir......... Jai Shree Radha Madhaba
ReplyDeleteSimply superb is your comment dear Sir. Please keeping encouraging me.
DeleteProf.Shakar D Mishrajee,Your poem titled'The Concept Of Happiness'is a poem that delineates importance of happiness in our life and it's derivative source and force.Human beings in many cases live a life utterly disgusting and miserable life making after worldly pleasure.Many people hardly think of fostering brotherhood and peacefulness but create an atmosphere of hatred,vengeance and suspicion.To them fulfillment of narrow selfish gain is the ultimate goal of life.Hardly they think of human virtues humanity,mercy, love and brotherhood.Such people ultimately deprive of true peace,beauty and pleasure of life.
ReplyDeleteBut to the realisation of the poet human beings should cultivate true human values.Our way of thoughts can lead us to the negative or positive directions.We need to introspect our work and go accordingly.We should practice good thoughts and think of better future,a life utterly blissful with divine beauty.Thanks a lot Prof.Shankar D Mishrajee for composing such a poem of magnificent nature.-Dr.Priyatosh Das,Karimganj,Assam,INDIA.
