Yes! That's what life is

When you have lost all the best in life, know that that's what life is meant to be

Do not live in the illusion of being happy for knowing the Truth 

But there are things that will make us happy as well as unhappy

Realizing what all will make us unhappy and not need fully be happy about it

Is a process of transcending both sorrow and joy and going beyond.

All those who are closest will depart, abandon, leave or die

Know that and be in a better position to face when it actually happens.

Crying will not help then since life is fleeting and it will bring something again

That will push us to joy following passing or overlapping sorrow

Being happy can never be the goal as that will also bind me down

Break or transcend the process, cycle or system of life that I am subjected to

Transcend the dualities, and keep trying till duality cease to exist

And I advance from bad to good, good to beyond all dualities

And then wait if I can experience the Absolute, beyond name and form or time, space and causality.

Blame none, since even my non-Self is not to be trusted

My body, mind, intellect will delude me all life long and better it is if I realize it sooner

Hate none, blame none, criticize none and if at all I still want to return them a blow

Ignore them respectfully and without demeaning

As none will last, not even your haters and they too will have good and bad times

Do not be deluded by joy and abundance in life

Since it's well known that downfall happens both in shortage as well in abundance

When on the rise we are thrusted with ego so that we fall hard

And in sorrow, with hope so that we rise again

Accept aloneness with grace and preparedness since if I don't that will anyway for sure to happen

Do not be lured by praise and get high when surrounded by friends, family and all

It happens when I can give or some value can be derived out of me knowingly or unknowingly

Success and good times will bring many well-wishers,

They will be with me even when I am wrong as they do not want to disrupt their benefits.

And when I do not provide any value all will abandon me.

And will go against me even when I am or say something right.

So neither be on high because of success and neither gloomed by failure

As one is a lie and the latter is actually more real.

With all that, realize the state when I can still be at my fullest

The state of Sat-Chit-Ananda; in the state of realization of Atman

Where every non-Self, in and beyond me cease to exist and lets me free.

Understand the meaning of joy; it is through freedom, detachment, fulfilled without asking for anything more

Or without any desire and senses are no longer outgoing by default

Realize and be in Sthitaprajna, Jivanmukta and Titiksha!
