You have to be truthful towards yourself

Human beings are said to be Satchitananda. This is a Sanskrit word. Sat means: Existence; Chit is the Consciousness and Ananda is Bliss. Everybody wants to be blissful, no? Everybody wants to be happy, but if you really, really want to be happy you have to be sincere towards yourself. You have to be really truthful towards yourself, first. Then, if you ask God: “Lord, give me happiness”, do you think He will refuse you? He will not. He will give it to you, freely. But it`s up to you to maintain the happiness. It`s up to you to keep this happiness and let it grow.
