Considering the fact that love is life, here I have avoided the obvious title for this story but it is almost there.
This was a weekend getaway on a riverside ashram just outside my city. The name itself was a major motivation to join this program - happiness program. Anyway I never expected it to make my life happy magically but I knew that a weekend away from city in the wilderness can only be better than struggling to pass time in malls or multiplexes.
The Friday evening long drive began at home & reached the end of the city, crossed picturesque river Mahi on NH-8 & in the last lap, crossed muddy farm roads leading to the Ashram. Not much was there to do except from getting settled in our rooms, having Sattvic dinner & enjoying Satsang music.
Sleeping late is also a kind of happiness for many but you have to sacrifice it for the happiness program of life. Anyway for past many years my morning starts around 5 only so I was ready in time. Early morning, trees all around the ashram & a river flowing nearby - it can't get any more refreshing than this & I could easily forgot about my morning tea which wasn't to be available till 8 am.
There's no need to tell anything about the program as it was just perfect. Most importantly one comes to know that we have been searching happiness everywhere in the world but the key to happiness is within us.
