Every Day is Sunday

When we were children we always used to think every day is Sunday – a holiday, meant for fun and frolic. What happened as we grew up! Our happiness is our state of mind – so, even today, if we think every day is meant to be enjoyed then do so. Why every day? Enjoy every moment of life as if it is our last! Don’t make a problem out of it – that is the nature of the mind as it constantly searches for something to pounce upon – even our happiness. It makes a problem out of happiness also. If we are feeling happy, we ask, ‘Why?’ That question is dangerous.

If we are suffering it is good to ask ‘why?’ because the suffering has to be dissolved, transcended; ways and means have to be found to get out of it - so the ‘why?’ is relevant. But when we are happy, then to ask ‘why?’ is to disturb it. There is no need to ask any questions. When happiness surrounds us accept it totally without any questioning.

It is a habit of the mind because it has been always living in misery, unhappiness, and always the ‘why?’ has been relevant. So, when clouds disappear for the first time and the sun shines in our life, the old question goes on persisting — ‘Why?’ Learn to accept happiness, learn to enjoy it without any questioning, learn to trust happiness, don’t doubt it, because the very doubt will become poisonous.

Happiness rarely happens. Those moments are very few and far between. When they come, welcome them, open your door, receive them with your full heart, don’t withhold anything. Even a question will become a very, very strong wall between you and your happiness.

Every day is a Sunday. It should be so. Every day is a holiday. It should be so. Because all days belong to Him. Each moment is holy. Once we understand it, we will stop asking questions like this. Don’t think that any particular day is needed for us to be happy - only a particular state of mind. It has nothing to do with time; everything depends on the attitude, how we look at life. There are people for whom even a Sunday is not a Sunday. There is no light, no sun rising - even on a Sunday. They are clouded in their own darkness, shrouded in their own misery. They carry their hell around them. Even if we force them into heaven, they will go on carrying their hell. They will live in their hell. Nobody can force them out of their hell unless they decide to drop it. It is always our decision to be happy or to be unhappy.

It is always for us to decide whether we want to be happy or unhappy. Every morning when we wake up we have two choices – be happy or unhappy. If we choose to be happy, then our whole day goes in joy. Be positive, be happy, stay blissed!
