Osho gives an answer to our constant quest and struggle for happiness.
“Nobody can be in pursuit of happiness. If you are in pursuit of happiness one thing is certain: You are not going to get it. Happiness is always a by-product. It is not the result of a direct pursuit. It happens when you are not even thinking of it – what to say of pursuit. Happiness is always with you. It has nothing to do with the weather, it has nothing to do with chopping wood, it has nothing to do with dogging a hole in a garden. Happiness has nothing to do with anything. It is always there, just like your breathing, your heartbeat, the blood circulating in your body.”
— Osho (The Spiritually Incorrect Mystic)
