The Views on Happiness: A Dialectic Approach

Abstract

In the era of commercialization and industrialization, people work day and night to survive in the market. In the struggle of survival, they forget the real meaning of the life. They measure everything in terms of the money. They forget that Sat-Chit-Ananda is the real form of a human being. The purpose of human life is to pursue true happiness. They identify man, money and material as the real source of happiness. Throughout their life, they seek happiness from each of these sources. In fact, they fail to get the same. The present paper is an attempt to reveal the views of ancient Indian scriptures on happiness. The paper uses the dialectic method to prove and disprove the various definitions of happiness. The definitions pointing to material happiness, physical happiness, sensual happiness, intellectual happiness, psychological happiness and spiritual happiness have been studied. The paper concludes with the scope of various sources of happiness. The article ends with various auspicious (AumAanoBhadra) things explained in our ancient Indian scripture that can be the sources of happiness.
