Happiness and holiness

Seeking traces

You may remember having had a mystical experience in which you have lived a direct connection to a part of the world, to a part of the starry sky or to a person. It is the knowledge about a happier world. It is similar to this amorousness at the time: a look, a smile, then your perception has been altered. You have experienced the thing that matters, the real life. This is moving and beautiful.

The child is totally at one place. Children are often in the world of spontaneous joy, and then suddenly they are back in the world of worries and imperfection. Children jump easily from one world to another. They laugh and they cry, they run and they rest. Many children have a lively face.

Adults have learned to succeed. They know what brings approval and what brings disdain. They pursue their goals. They engage for some aims and they follow rules, until they perceive that they are barely alive. If they want to break the daily routine, they need to do things like banshee-jumping and consumption of drugs.

Holiness

There is a way of life, which is true for the humans interior and therefore it contributes to happiness. There are people who follow that what can be called internal guide or inner happiness or holiness. Because of their imperfection and their uncertainty, their happiness may be changeful. Sometimes it may be intense and sometimes low. But the one who knows the holiness is convinced that she is his natural state. Perhaps he does not less mistakes than others. Maybe he suffers as much at the rigors of life as other people. But holiness is for him the center and purpose of life.

It takes courage to get back to holiness, instead of following the usual customs and daily trivia. For the trifles we are used to, but for holiness, we are not. Holiness produces feelings of happiness. But contrary to the use of drugs, the effect on health is positive. The joy of holiness improves the biology of human. It harmonizes breathing, blood circulation and digestion. Thinking becomes clearer.

Holiness does not need to be developed. It does not need to be created. It is already there. Holiness is also called inner beauty. It is the right starting point for everything. If you want to live holiness, you should look inside. Try to get aware of the holiness and to abandon all these fears and all these games making you ignore the holiness. Holiness is like a sister to love. It is a state, not an act, it is a way of being. The one who has found and experienced the state of salvation, the holiness, knows what life can be, what life really is. Many people have yet sensed and felt that holiness is their precious home.
