Do you require a reason to be Happy?

A person cribbed to me last night “My Happiness is very transient. I am always dependant on an external event to become happy and once that incident come to an end my happiness also disappears .Subsequently I become sad then and keep waiting for one more event to make me happy.Please help me”.This mortal replied”This soul may not be able to help you completely but can offer you a suggestion. If your happiness works on the principle of Cause and Effect your happiness is always short lived. The Enlightened person is one who needs no reason to be happy and that happiness is within you and not parked elsewhere. Observe the new born which smiles for no reason. Get into HG Wells Time Machine and become a new born and never grow. You will be happy for ever. “.My friend saw stars and it was late midnight and I left him alone in tne company of the galaxy.
