More on Happiness is Your Creation

When Swami Rama lay on his deathbed, he spoke the following words to the author of this book: "You are a creation of God, but happiness is your creation. You are equipped with everything you need to live a happy life. Your only job is to discover the source of happiness within and infuse your surroundings with that inner happiness." On the pages within, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, PhD, delves deeper into this insight and other lessons he learned from his master.

How do you start down the path to happiness? In Happiness Is Your Creation the tools needed to accomplish this feat are outlined in clear, understandable language. You will learn that the mind is the source of all misery and happiness. It provides both bondage and liberation. But before you can free your mind, you must master your body. Tigunait offers a wealth of brilliant insights on how mind and body work together and what you can do to ensure that the two aspects support and nurture each other.

"The mind stands between this world and ourselves and God," writes the author. "If the mind is clear, stable, friendly, honest, and well-intentioned, then we gain a true understanding of the world and a true understanding of the reality within us... A spontaneous and long-lasting process of transformation within and without will emerge. The perennial joy that springs from the core of our being will begin to nourish all aspects of our existence."
