Happiness begins to chase you the moment you start inquiring into your true self within. Right from childhood, we have been conditioned to chase ideas, dreams and objects of the world as a pursuit of happiness. It is all a mirage and each time, you realise that a mirage is a mirage, suffering ensues. One day your suffering will make you change course and go into your inner core to seek the real thing. Until that revelation hits you, you are in a whirlpool of Karma.
