Be Happy

That fulfilment arising from your being 
There you should derive your Happiness
Don't allow the judgement of others do it
You are an entire universe encapsulated 

The whole is only accessed from within 
While the world occupies your attention 
That same world you seek is right in you 
It is your choice to seek in the proper place

The joy of the mundane is superficial  
Unsettling when consequences arise 
The peace from within is enduring  
It was meant to be before it became 

To be happy or be sad is always a choice 
Life bothers not which you choose 
Life has been created to function like God likes 
You must obey the rules to enjoy the bliss

Karma plays a big role in what results 
With man's capacity to create her tomorrow 
The past must play a part in the present 
Tomorrow's joy is from today's right actions
