Satchitananda

Who doesn't want to be Happy?
We all seek Happiness
We search for it from birth to death 
But the true treasure of Bliss we miss 
Success is Happiness, we were taught 
And in this myth, we were caught
We won and we lost, we succeeded,
 and we failed But Happiness we forgot
Happiness is like a Shadow, you see 
The more you chase it, the further is goes away 
But if you stay still to enjoy it
You will see that with you, it will stay 
Happiness is not a product or a place
Nor a person that can give you Bliss 
Happiness is a state of being, my friend 
When will you realize this? 
From the time we are born, we seek Happiness 
Just as we run away from pain
We start seeking pleasure and then we seek Peace 
We seek Happiness again and again
Ananda is that state of Joy 
It is true Bliss without a tear
We transcend the suffering of ego, body, and mind
