Quotations
Happiness
Human intelligence lies in making such choices that whatever he desires or
attains out of them...the end result should only be happiness.

With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
There is no limit to joy. Happiness has no end. When you are standing in love of God, every cell in your body jumps for joy. You breathe in and out with the entire universe. In this state, your life is fulfilled.
