When we pursue happiness, it eludes you. However, when you recognise that happiness is the natural state of the soul, all you need is to eliminate all that comes between your happiness and you.
The ability to think with our minds and to act upon that thought
is what makes us conscious, what makes us aware, what raises
us above other known sentient beings. But human consciousness
as a subject of study has led to divergent views in the scientific
world and in the world of spiritual wisdom. Consciousness brings
with it new discoveries as mankind still explores.
