I asked God to give me happiness, and God said no.
He said He gives a blessing, and whether I will be happy or not depends on me.(“I Asked God,” a Russian parable)
My Response: Indeed.
Comment: The Creator blesses us with happiness, but for some reason we are unhappy.
My Response: We do not accept the blessing.
Question: Why?
Answer: We do not want to be happy.
Question: So all this comes from us?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Do we understand that He blesses us with happiness? Or do we curse everything He gives by saying: “You gave the wrong thing…”?
Answer: No, we do not understand. All of nature, all life, all of this is given to us for happiness.
Question: What kind of creatures are we? We are given happiness, but we run from it. We say: “It is not there.” We are looking for it all the time. We say: “We are looking for happiness,” but happiness is what it is. Is this how it works?
Answer: Yes. That is us.
Question: What can you do to make a person happy?
Answer: Nothing. A person must learn to be happy.
Question: In principle, I must agree that only happiness comes from the Creator, that happiness is all around and I just have to feel it?
Answer: Yes.
Question: And what should I do?
Answer: Remember my book about the wizard?
Comment: Yes, it says that He is always waiting for someone to become his friend.
My Response: Basically this is a story about whether happiness can be achieved.
Comment: This book is even available as an audiobook. It is called Together Forever: The story about the magician who didn’t want to be alone. It is an amazing book!
