We human beings have always searched for happiness, which means we know we’re not happy.
Discontent burns within us, but we search for fulfillment outside ourselves.
We’re taught that we’ll feel complete when we get the right things.
But we’re left wanting more things.
The gap between us and true happiness is wider than ever.
But closing that gap is easier than we think.
The secret is simple: Selfless Service.
By giving we grow and enjoy without limit.
Giving service to our divine source nourishes us from within, just as watering the root of a tree nourishes the whole tree.
Such service is called bhakti-yoga, the yoga of love and gratitude.
The more we practice bhakti-yoga, the more our capacity to serve and taste tangible happiness grows.
