Freedom To Be Happy


After every happiness comes misery; they may be far apart or near. 
The more advanced the soul, the more quickly does one follow the other. 
What we want is neither happiness nor misery. 
Both make us forget our true nature; both are chains, 
One iron, one gold, behind both is the Atman,
Who knows neither happiness nor misery. 

- Swami Vivekananda
