In Sanskrit, there are basically four words for happiness—sukha, santosha, mudita, and ananda—each of which points to a different level of happiness. Together, they constitute a path that leads us to the kind of happiness that really cannot be shaken. Let's explore mudita or spiritual happiness.
"The only thing greater than being loved is being Love itself" -Adyashanti
Mudita, or spiritual happiness really becomes possible when our attention goes to Loving Life just as it is, right now. Luckily, there's never a moment when that is not possible. This moment right here is the only opportunity for real happiness. Being alive in this moment is being alive with Love! Real spiritual happiness doesn't follow whether your yoga class went well, or after meditation was a success, it comes only from inside our own Being. Spiritual happiness, Joy even...is what we all want because in the depths of what we are, we are Joy. Please celebrate the happiness of your inherent joy together, alone, and in all moments of your life.
